New Beginnings

                                                                                10th December 2025

Dear parents,

We are well into our 'Christmas Celebrations' which started with our Christmas Craft Fayre, organised by our fantastic Friends of St. Joseph's Association.

Last week we joined St. Peter's P.S. and Bessbrook Primary School to turn on the Christmas Lights in Bessbrook and now our little 'super stars' take to the stage for our Christmas Performances.

We are delighted to use these celebrations to bring term one to a fantastic end. Here is to an even better 2026!

Regards,

Mr. Michael Doran
Principal
St. Joseph’s P.S. Bessbrook

A very proud day in St. Joseph’s P.S. Bessbrook. Mr Doran and Miss Smith presented Emma Greer from Women's Aid Armagh Down a cheque for £1872.50 which was raised as part of our Halloween Walk. 💜 To all our parents, carers, pupils and staff, this money will make a big difference especially as we enter the Christmas period. Be very proud of the community spirit we have in St. Joseph’s P.S. Bessbrook.
Thanks Catherine for coming along to our fayre, our pupils loved your stall! 😊
