Community Links
We aim to forge meaningful links and relationships with those in the local community. We include students from the St Joseph’s Pastoral Centre in our acts of collective worship and older pupils are invited to attend performances by the students.
We support those in need, through our donations to a local food bank, through the Trussell Trust. Since March 2019, we have been actively involved in the Caritas/Mitzvah project, where our pupils collaborate on a variety of charitable work with pupils from local Jewish schools.
Barnet SACRE Interfaith Choir Performance at Interfaith Peace Vigil
On Thursday 25th January 2024, the Barnet SACRE Interfaith Choir, founded by Dr. Alan Shaw, of which St Joseph's Catholic Primary School are proud members of, had their first professional performance of the year.
Around 30 of our pupils within Years 4, 5 and 6 are members of the Interfaith Choir, and the vast majority of them performed a selection of songs at an Interfaith Peace Vigil at Middlesex University, alongside two other Primary Schools in the borough.
The event was organised jointly by the Barnet Multifaith Forum and Together with Humanity. The programme included talks by senior faith leaders from many religions, the Mayor and invited celebrities. The choir had the opportunity to perform alongside Award Winning Singer Songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Playlisted Artist Tally Koren. Tally has been using her voice in the last few years to build bridges between different cultures with her UK tour 'Vision of Hope', with the message - "We all speak the same language through music."
