On Tuesday the 2nd of Oct 2018, the senior art students from St Joseph’s went on an art educational trip to Ennistymon Courthouse Gallery / Studios to see exhibition by CeA/R/T , an acronym for Clare Artists/ Researchers/Teachers made up of Mary Moran, Edel Hogan, Lorraine Callanan, and Bairbre Geraghty.

The students had two uninterrupted hours to sketch and interrogate the works on show.

Overall it was a very educational, enlightening and culture rich day.

Interschools Showjumping 2018

On Friday the 19th of October, Beatrice Vaughan, Rachel O Connell, Mia Egan, Ashleigh Mc Namara, Ciara Morris and Sinead Vaughan tacked up and represented St Joseph's in a thrilling showjumping competition in Clare Equestrian centre.

It was a win win situation for our two teams as for the first time the competition was held on a school Day...other years Miss Moran and her troop headed to the showgrounds on Sundays, but this change of venue and day meant that the course was more difficult and there were ALOT more schools from all over Munster.

We had a great start with a clear round from Beatrice on Black Jack, but were unfortunate with Mia on Pickles and Rachel on Tyro picking up four faults.

Team two also had a great start with Sinead riding clear on Tyro, Ashleigh riding clear on Polo but disaster struck when Taz threw Ciara. Thankfully she was unhurt :)

Individual rounds went better with four rosettes coming home to Tulla, and only a time difference costing first place.

It was an exhilarating day...

Concert Sláinte an Chláir

On October 4th, St Joseph’s Secondary School in Tulla hosted an all-star line-up of musicians, singers and dancers for a fundraising concert in aid of Sláinte an Chláir.

The programme was brainchild of the LCA class and their music teacher Aisling Behan. This student-organised concert brought together accomplished artists such as All-Ireland award winning musicians Sinéad Mulqueen and Dáire Mulhern along with talented students Aisling Clarke, Dearbhla Creaven, Daragh Leamy, Éabha McInerney, and the LCA music group.

The mix of student and professional talent taking part led to lively and heart-warming performances for a very worthy cause.
