Dear Parents and Carers
We are fast approaching the beginning of October and over the past month there have been several exciting things that have happened in school. We are trying to be as environmentally friendly as we can so rather than using paper and sending out newsletters to keep up to date on a weekly basis with all events and happenings look on our school Twitter page @stjosephscamb. Our school website will also have lots of information about the latest events so don’t forget to have a look.
Plastic bottle tops
We need your plastic bottle tops! We are going to be working on an art project that focuses on recycling. Please collect your bottle tops for us and don’t forget to bring them into school.
Sporting Success
The Junior School excelled at the recent Southwark Cross Country Competition. All Year groups came first in their races. We won everything! We are proving very strong competition to other schools in Southwark and our sporting prowess is growing stronger and stronger. I would like to thank Mr Higgins for providing the children with these opportunities through his close work with the London Schools’ Sports Network.
Stop press; Friday 27th. St Josephs’ school win the Southwark football cup held at GMH Park.

Leadership roles in school
Congratulations to those children in Yr 6 who have been given a leadership role. It is very important to carry out duties with responsibility and maturity. The children have taken to their new roles like ‘ducks to water’. Roles include prefects, Head Boy and Head Girl, stair monitors, wet play monitors, playground monitors. Well done everyone!
