Story
School cuts don't heal - :0(
All across the country, school budgets for vital services are being cut. At the same time, we are becoming increasingly aware of a growing mental health crisis affecting our young people.
In St Joseph’s, for the last 3 years, they have employed a Play Therapist, who carries out vital work in meeting the wide ranging and complex needs of many of the most vulnerable learners. This support has been vital for our school, for their families and most of all, for the young people themselves. As further cuts will be introduced in April it is highly likely that, without any other funding sources, this service will have to end. If this happens, children will no longer access the specialist help they need, to allow them to grow into happy, healthy and successful adults.
This is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Good Friday, 19th April 2019, I will be walking from Llandudno Pier to St Joseph's Catholic Church Church, 6 miles along the coast, carrying a life size Cross to the Stations of the Cross service. I will then be carrying the life size Cross to the summit of Snowdon, at the end of May, to help raise money to pay for this vital service. Please support my efforts so that the children can continue to receive the help they need.
They are our future!

5 years agoYesterday,I attended St Joseph's School to support my daughter & her colleagues in their sponsored marathon day.There were many different sports clubs offering faster sessions, from rugby, hockey & football to dodgeball & Thai boxing! However, the main event was the sponsored marathon, which entailed the children running 450m laps of the field. I don't know the exact figure,but towards the end, they had completed over 1100,which is 275 miles or 10.5 marathons!!!!!!! There is a powerful community spirit flowing throughout the whole school :0)

I am a parent of a lively little daughter at St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and we are parishioners of the Church next door. Our school and church community work extremely hard together, to nurture a faith and future in our young.
