🌟 Celebrating our amazing Teaching Assistants! 🌟
On Friday, we celebrated National Teaching Assistant Day and took the opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to our wonderful Teaching Assistants here at St Joseph’s. 💚
Although not all of our fantastic TAs are pictured, this celebration was for each and every one of them.
Every day, they work incredibly hard to support, encourage and care for our children. Whether they’re helping children with their learning, building confidence, offering a listening ear or simply being that familiar, reassuring face when it’s needed most, the difference they make is huge.
We are incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated, caring and hardworking team, and we hope they know just how much they are valued by our whole St Joseph’s community.
Thank you for everything you do, St Joseph’s simply wouldn’t be the same without you! 🌟💚
