Irish Diplomat Visits St Joseph's
Irish diplomat Laoise Moore who is Ireland's Consul General in Boston made a trip to St Joseph's on Thursday as part of the Global Schools Programme. Consul General Laoise and Corporal Andrew McKinney met with and spoke to a range of students from our school community. The students study History, Politics & Society and some of them have been to Uganda as part of the Aidlink Ireland Immersion project, others have participated in Model UN and EYP while others are off to the European Parliament next month. The students were well informed and engaged in the talk and Consul General Laoise praised the quality of the questions the students had for her rating them as "some of the toughest and most insightful questions of her career". Well done to the organising teachers and participating students.
Uganda Immersion Project 2019 - Update
We were delighted to receive confirmation that the trees planted by St Joseph's students in Masaka, Uganda are growing really well. We planted these trees to offset the carbon emmissions of our flights for the trip. It was important that we kept our carbon footprint in mind while we participated in this project. Huge thanks to Eco Brixs for looking after our trees for us in Masaka.
