Badminton Club Update

The St. Joseph’s Gorey Badminton Club is thriving with more members than ever before! Open to 5th and 6th class students, our club has been buzzing with excitement as we focus on improving our doubles game skills. The team has been working hard in preparation for the upcoming Leinster competition in January, and everyone is giving their best effort during practice. Recently, we were fortunate to have Garry from Leinster Badminton visit the school to lead a special training session, offering valuable tips and techniques to help us reach our full potential. 

Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2024

Thank you to everyone who donated a shoebox to our Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal this year. In total, there were 202 shoes boxes donated….one of the biggest donations in North Wexford! These shoeboxes will be given to less fortunate children in Europe and Africa. For more information about where the shoeboxes go, you can look up www.teamhope.ie. A big thank you to Mrs. Fleming’s Junior Infants and to 6th Class for helping to carry out all 202 shoeboxes last Friday! Now we know how Santa’s elves feel after loading up the sleigh! 🎅

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2024

St. Joseph’s will be taking part again this year in the Christmas Shoebox Appeal. This is our 7th year to participate in this very worthy appeal. Last year our school donated 241 shoeboxes to children in need. We hope to donate even more shoeboxes this year. Leaflets explaining the appeal have been handed out to each class. Lorna from Team Hope visited our school and explained to us the importance of this appeal. Additional leaflets are available from Mrs. Sinnott and Geraldine. Filled shoeboxes can be left in reception in front of Geraldine’s office up until Tuesday November 12th.
