Sporting Activities
Whilst St Joseph’s has a wide reputation for sporting excellence, above all we encourage participation in sport for all. The main sports are rugby, netball, hockey, cricket, athletics, basketball, badminton, rowing and tennis. St. Joseph’s College PE department believe all students should be given the opportunity to develop and flourish in all aspects of sport, whether that be as a performer, a coach or even an official. The wide and fully inclusive extra – curricular programme allows students to take part in a variety of different sports and take on numerous roles within the club.
Music
Music is at the heart of this happy school with our orchestras, choirs and various ensembles performing inside the school, across the community and even internationally. The dramatic productions win plaudits for their flair and ambition and are always highly enjoyable for all. If an individual shows a particular talent they will do the utmost to foster, encourage and promote that talent whatever the field. They are immensely proud of the award winning performances of many of the pupils but always encourage fair play and perseverance in addition to a winning mentality.
