The St. Joseph's Association (SJA) is the school's PTA, which is run as a charity. The main aim of the association is as a social group for parents and carers, raising money for the school while having fun!

The current committee are;
President: Tamsyn Lawlor

The Association officially meets once a term to to discuss what events we would like to run and to consider requests from school for funding. Everyone is welcome to our meetings - the more the merrier!
All our events will be updated on the school calendar, and details of our upcoming events can be seen in the column over on the right of this section.
