Friends of St Joseph's

Friends of St Joseph’s

The Friends of St Joseph’s are a team of parents and teachers who organise a range of events and activities that raise important funds for the school. Parents and children look forward to the social calendar, the highlights of which include the spectacular Spring Ball, fun summer fete and festive Christmas events.

Organising these events often involves much planning and manpower and additional volunteers and helpers are welcomed to join in whenever they may have time to offer.

St Joseph's School is grateful to all those who dedicate their valuable time in organising these fundraising activities and to all who donate so generously.
