🎄 SPL’s Christmas Fun Day 🎄 Our pupils had a fantastic time getting into the festive spirit with arts and crafts, baking, and a cosy Christmas movie. It was wonderful to see classes bonding together, sharing laughter, and producing some truly stellar work. A huge thank you to Miss Greer for organising such a joyful day, and to our dedicated LSAs for all their support in making it a success! 🌟

Shared Education Today some of Year 8 students were involved in the Harmonies for Reconciliation project which was delivered by the Connecting Minds Project in partnership with Beyond Skin. The students discussed peacebuilding, cultural understanding, environmental reflection, and youth leadership. We look forward to continuing this project later in the year. 🥁🥁🪘🪘

Our Year 8s have wrapped up 4 weeks of indoor football to finish off 2025, showing great energy, teamwork, and improvement each week. A fantastic way to end the year! They’ll be back in action in January 2026 to play the remainder of their games — we’re excited to see them build on the momentum in the new year! 💪⚽

Congratulations to our Year 10 student Travis who won an orange belt at a recent Ju Jitsu tournament! 🥋

8B’s Christmas term class project was on one of our school Core Values- Kindness. As a class we decided to demonstrate Kindness and the gift of giving by collecting considerable donations for Benvardin Dog Kennels and Ballymoney Foodbank. Two very important charities that help all those in need, especially at this time of year. A special mention to our pupil Maisha who was the driving force behind our special class Christmas project. She was delighted to receive a special recognition certificate for her Act of Kindness during this project from Mr Smyth. Well done we are all so proud of you! 🔴⚫️🐶🐕‍🦺

Our Year 9 and 10 Netballers were in action again this week against Limavady High School. Hard luck to the Year 10’s who lost and well done to the Year 9’s who came away with the win! ⚫️🔴⚫️🔴

8B would like to showcase their Christmas project “Skinny the Nutcracker”.  We are so blessed to have so many creative and imaginative students building and designing this all from recycled materials! 🎄🎅

Incredible day at St Josephs Primary School, all the P7 pupils had a fantastic time exploring the bold and imaginative world of Picasso’s Cubist art. After learning how Picasso broke objects into shapes and angles, the class got to experiment with oil pastels and watercolours to create their very own Cubist masterpieces. The results were fantastic — vibrant colours, expressive lines, creative compositions, and lots of proud smiles! It was wonderful to see everyone embracing experimentation and having fun with new artistic techniques. Well done St Josephs Primary 7’s, Your creativity, energy and work ethic truly shone through today.
