A.R.C Justice and Peace Food bank donations

By Miss T GAUGHAN5th July 2016

A huge thank you for all the donations from years 7, 8 & 9 your generosity has been amazing and you truly have been living out the Gospel teachings ‘Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead’ Philippians 2:3-4. Pupils in year 10 who donated on behalf of the school had this to say ‘The food bank is an extremely important part of our community it allows us to help one another and shows God’s unconditional love to those who may have fallen into hard times, it also reminds us of how lucky we are and how easy it can be to fall on hard times, it was a great privileged to take the donations and we continue to support this great local charity’.

Former JOA Drama student at the National Theatre

By Mrs C WILCHER10th March 2016

Tamara Lawrence, a former student of St Joan of Arc, can currently be seen at the National Theatre, in a biography of legendary Blues singer Ma Rainey. Tamara, who starred in our SSF production of Macbeth and in our school production, The Dracula Spectacula, was one of our highest achieving students in Drama and graduated from prestigious London Drama school RADA last year. The Guardian reviewer describes her performance as “an alluring and professional debut”:  Well done Tamara!
