Mr. O’Brien’s 5th

Friendship February

St Joseph’s Student Council would like to thank everyone for the amazing effort during our Friendship February initiative to promote kindness in our school.
During Friendship Week we hosted a Funky Friends No Uniform day and raised an amazing €730.55 for Special Olympics Ireland.

Scór na bPáistí 2025

Children in 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th Class have been working hard to prepare for Scór na bPáistí 2025. We were very proud to have 1 Figure Dancing Group, 2 Solo Singers, 2 Ballad Groups as well as 2 Instrumental Groups take part in the Gorey District Rounds in Bunscoil Loreto on 30/01/2025. All competitors were excellent and did our school proud. We were very excited to have Isabella go through in Solo Singing as well as a Ballad Group make it to the semi-final.

On Thursday, February 7th, we went back to Bunscoil Loreto to take part in the semi-finals. Both Isabella and the Ballad Group did excellently. The competition was very difficult but we were grateful that our Ballad Group made it to the County Final in the National Opera House on 13/02/2025.

Good luck to Isabella, Lyla, Roisín, Teagan and Patrick. We are so proud of you all!

Thanks to Ms Culliton, Ms Waters and Mr O’ Brien for preparing the children.

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.
