Welcome to the Religion Department at St Joseph's Secondary School, Rush.

It would be very interesting to see what students might make of this and the challenge to bring a win-win into this situation. @stjosephsrush @wellbeingstj @JigsawYMH @StjLeaders @STJREDept

Sometimes during supervision you can stumble over the talents hidden throughout our year groups. I still get blown away by the creativity of our students. @ceist1 @STJRushGuidance @STJREDept

Best of luck to our 6th Years who graduate from @stjosephsrush tonight! They’ve proven themselves to be an exceptionally strong, resilient & positive group of young adults. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them in TY & teaching them for the past two years @KielyEmer @ceist1

Our school community is deeply saddened by the passing of our 3rd year student, Jason Belevics. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and classmates at this very difficult time. May Jason Rest in Peace.
