Under the stewardship of Mr Pat McParland (RE HOD) and Mr Brendan Fearon (Citizenship HOD), pupils took part in a cross-curricular initiative using resources that had been provided through the ‘Down Your Street’  environmental campaign, by the Newry, Mourne & Down District Council.

Mr Patrick McShane (Environmental Co-ordinator of NMDDC) commended the enthusiasm of pupils and congratulated them on their endeavours as part of their Eco-School status for helping to improve the environment around St Joseph’s as well as in the local community.
