At St Joseph’s, we have a club for everyone!

Lunchtimes at St Joseph’s are always a hive of activity with a range of activities on offer every day. 

Our Lego Club provides students with time to get creative. Emmanuel in Year 2 enjoys building and playing games with his creations and having battles with his friends.

For those students (and teachers) who like to get active, we offer a Running Club. We even differentiate at lunchtime, offering one or two laps of the running circuit depending on fitness. Atem in Year 3 enjoys Running Club so that he can improve his already impressive running time and Keone and Taj in Year 2 enjoy the challenge and are working up to trying two laps.

For those who like to take a slower pace, we offer a Walking Club around our neighbouring streets. Madeline in Foundation is a regular at Walking Club as she enjoys seeing the sites and finds it an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of playground life. 

A new initiative on offer are our Netball and Touch Football competitions for students in Years 3 to 6. Run as a Round Robin, the students participate with friendly rivalry throughout the term. Amy, Addison and Julianna in Year 5 enjoy the fun and friendly competition that the Netball Club offers and Jack in Year 1 likes to watch the games and cheer on his Godsister. Mr Kucher who runs the Touch Football Club enjoys that students of different ability levels are eager to participate.

For those who like to “Shake it Off” we also run a Dance Club. Chloe and Alice in Year 2 think it is great exercise and lots of fun learning new dance moves. They also think it’s a great place to go if you forget your hat! 

Sam, Harry and Max in Year 6 recently started a Cricket Club for students in Years 4 to 6 as they were feeling bored at Lunchtime. The two teams train on altering Wednesdays and play a game on the third Wednesday. Way to go boys!

Thank you to all of our amazing teachers who help make lunchtimes at St Joseph so exciting. Many of these Clubs are an additional duty that are undertaken on a voluntary basis. We’re committed to building a strong, supportive school community and believe inclusivity is at the heart of our school.
