fi¢)w from The Trust Fund include the impffjv&X oulcomes for pupils in St Joseph's

During 2024r25 the Trust Fund supported pupils through school based award8d
bursary schemes for Music, PE 8fKI exwitional award8
Music: The bursary scheme continues to play a pivotal rde in supporting students,
musical development. For many, the financial cost of instrumental or vocal tuition
would otheThYise present a s￿nIficant barrier. making it impossible to athieve the

standard required for GCSE prath.cal examinab"ons. Through bursary spon%yship,
these students are able to access indivKJu¥l lessons that are essential for their
progression.
Beyond academic achievement, the scheme also fosters a deeper engagement with
the musical lrfe of the College. Recipients are encouraged to contribute actNely to
school events, both within the school and n the wider communty, enriching the
cultural fabric of the sthool.
PE." This year, several pupils were rK)minated for the preSt￿lOUS Sports Personalty

character. The winner received a commern(Kabve cup and vouchers as a token of
appreciation for their su(Less and dedI￿tI)n. All nominees re￿iVed sweatshirts and
shields in recognition of their accrynplishments. This highlghts the College's
commrtment to fostering talent both bmthin and outside tt)e school environrnenl.
Mets O'Donnell Cup: A speu'al award was presented to a pupil who demonstrated
eX￿pIlOnal resilience and deteminab.on in cx)mplets'ng his education desprte facing
