Every week, our staff send in their submissions for the Happiest Minute of the Week. These can be anything from a whole class behaving well, to the small and kind gestures that make someone’s day!
All of these Happiest Minutes are then presented to the whole school every Friday by Mr Bartel and Mr Ford (or pupils who volunteer to host!) in the weekly rewards raffle.
As part of our ethos here at St Joseph’s, we love to share kindness, gratitude and positivity. So without further ado, here are this week’s nominations for Happiest Minute of the Week!
Happiest Minutes of the Week
Mrs Hansford:
- JB (10V) and JK (10F) for smashing their spelling test in English today and showing a level of maturity that can be a rarity in 10/4 English at times!
- KR, FI, HZ (8M), BH and IB (8F) for working very hard in the Spanish lesson I covered today.
- CR (9F), JK (9V), and ZA (8T) for smashing their spelling test too!
Miss Rooney:
- BR (7T) – well done for exemplary behaviour when starting and ending his Geography lesson this week. Perfect!
- AN (7T) – congratulations for your superb skills in justifying your choices in Geography.

Mrs Fenwick:

- My HMOTW was observing how the Yr10 Drama students – EB, LR, GR, JM (10T), DC, MM, MS (10F), HC, and CW (10M) – engaged with the Creative Careers Workshops at the Salisbury Playhouse, with decorum, enthusiasm and skill well beyond their years. They served as true ambassadors to the school and the staff involved at the Theatre commented on how amazing they were! Well done all!
