The boys and teachers arrived safely on Saturday evening at the Hotel Best Cap Salou after a brilliant flight. The weather is warm and the hotel is friendly and comfortable. The boys had dinner and tried various different foods before having a game of football on the beach. The ball couldn't take the pace and it ended up being a game of rugby! Today we had a long day in Barcelona at a two hour Spanish lesson - the class were commended on their behaviour and attention to the lessons (they worked really hard). We then went to the Sagradia Familia - the boys were impressed by the Gaudi architecture and the steep walk down from the top of the tower - laughing at Ms Yorkston and Ms Spong who were petrified by the height - the views from the top were fantastic. They then had a shopping session in Las Ramblas before getting back to the hotel and dinner. We had some free time to play football (with a new ball), tennis and snooker. The boys settled down by 11.00 and will have a lie-in until 8.15 tomorrow when we go to the theme park.

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am writing to you all in my capacity as Chair of Governors of the College.

You will all be aware that following the retirement of our previous Headteacher, Mr E Connolly, last summer, the Governing Body of St Joseph's College appointed Mr Franchetti as Acting Headteacher pending the advertisement and subsequent appointment of a permanent Headteacher.

I am delighted to be able to announce that following the interviews on April 18th, Mr Franchetti has been formally appointed as the permanent Headteacher with effect from today 1st May 2012.

I am sure you will join me in congratulating him on his appointment and wishing him well for the future.

Yours faithfully

Ayo Osoba in year 7 has been recognised for his outstanding achievements outside of school - he received the Jack Petchey award for excellence at Scouts recently - a fantastic achievement - and proudly displayed his medal to the Headteacher. Ayo has shown the same qualities in school this year and we hope he will continue to do so in Year 8 and beyond! Well done!

Some of the boys coming to Saturday basketball sessions took part in a competition at the American School in Chobham last weekend. Saturday basketball is at St Joseph's College Sports Hall from 9.30 - 11.30 and is open to children aged 8 to 14 years from any school for £2 per session. The boys ranged in age from 8yrs to 13yrs - and played in the under 14 age group. They won three games to earn a place in the final where they lost by a narrow margin in a really exciting game. Each player received a runner's up medal at the closing ceremony.

Well done to all the boys who took part.
