For the second year running we have won a Welsh Heritage Schools Initiative award thanks to Mr Maddock's hard work blogging all that we do. Big thanks also to Morgan & Millie who were brilliant on the day, picking up the award. Morgan even ended up sharing his acting skills in a sketch with 'Barti Ddu.'

This year the entry was entitled 'History in the Making', all about the growth of Gaelic Football within our school. Mr Maddock introduced the sport to St Joseph's many years ago and our teams have competed in local, National, British and Irish competitions with one side even leading out an All Ireland side on to Croke Park. The award celebrated how we embrace our roots and make them our belonging - where we are now - and we are very proud.

Mr Maddock works with past pupils and has developed manu into coaches who are now helping younger teams. He is running a two-day Summer Camp for Years 4, 5 & 6 in Coed Gwilym Park, the first two days after we break up.
