Running Together, Remembering Together

St Joseph’s was delighted to host the local Year 6 cross-country competition. Children from local schools ran in small groups around our school grounds and had a great time challenging themselves and cheering one another on.

At 11am, all the children paused to observe two minutes of silence. It was a moving moment as pupils from different schools stood side by side in remembrance. The race gave everyone a chance to do their best; the silence reminded us that what we share is greater than any rivalry on the course: gratitude for those who served and a shared hope for peace.

Thank you to Sporting Influence for organising the event, and well done to all the children for the enthusiasm they brought to the race and the respect they showed during the silence.
