Year 8 students enjoyed an exciting PE Special Assembly Visit with professional footballers Mike Flynn and Byron Anthony…

Our girls team pictured with Mike Flynn, Byron Anthony and Norman Parselle (main photo) were the runners up in the Newport U13 Girl’s Football Festival, held on the FAW’s Newport training grounds on Wednesday 20th November. The girls have been training weekly as part of the 5x60 programme with Bradley Williams also in the picture along with Danielle Seivwright our school’s 5x60 officer.

The Professional players were invited in to have a question and answer session with our Year 8 students during their assembly. Both Mike and Byron spoke fondly of their time as students at St Joseph’s RC High School and encouraged our students to work hard, use all the help available to them at school and most importantly follow their dreams. We were very proud of the mature questions our students posed to our guests and were very pleased to be able to give 3 students tickets to Newport County’s home game.
