Drogheda Moves
Drogheda Moves!!!
St. Joseph’s CBS successfully completed the Drogheda Moves program. Our last stop was New York before we reached Ireland.
The Drogheda Moves school committee were excellent and played an essential role in the program’s success.
Well Done.

St.Josephs Walks the World!!!
Drogheda Moves!!!!
It is a local initiative to encourage our community to support a healthy mind and body by being more active in their daily lives.
The first part of the initiative is Drogheda Walks the World!!
All the schools in our community are taking part. Each day one of the boys wears a pedometer, which tracks his steps in one day. We then convert this into Kilometers. Then we multiply this number by the number of boys in the class. The final step is to see how far we have travelled.
This project has been running for three weeks in St. Joseph’s CBS.
Week 1: Belarus, near Russia
Week 2: Hangzhu, China
Week 3: Hawaii, USA.
The boys of St.Joseph’s CBS have been amazingly supportive of this project. I will let you all know if we make it around the world.

Garda Sports Day In the O’Raghallaigh’s
St Joseph’s CBS took part in the Annual Garda Sports Day yesterday. It was a great day and all boys had lots of fun.
European Sports Week
G4 got off to a very active and energetic start to the new year during our whole-school European Sports week. We tried some new sports for P.E. such as Handball and Spikeball. During the week we had our lunch time workouts and we even had a challenge the teachers day! It was so much fun! Here in 4th class, we love being active and exercising!!
Take On The Teacher: Sports Challenge
On Friday 16th of September the students got the opportunity to take on the teachers in various challenges. 
Our winning teachers basketball team
Flag Raising Ceremony
On Monday we celebrated the school receiving our 5th Green Flag and our first Active Flag. After raising the two flags, both committees enjoyed lunch in Scholars as a well deserved treat.
Active Breaks!
This week saw the Active Schools Committee introduce even more activity to our break times.
The whole school got involved and jumped, ran and lunged when they heard the whistle!!
Well done to everyone who took part!!
