We would like to share this touching poem about "The Last Supper" written by Mrs Jacquie Large, a former employee here at St Joseph's School. 

Above: Year 7 - 9 students sit around "The Last Supper"

"The Last Supper"

In the grounds of the Catholic School

The one that’s quite near to me;

Is the table of the Last Supper

And a model of Jesus sitting, waiting under the tree.

There are 12 seats around the table

Room enough for those who come;

The children bring their lunches

And Jesus joins them having fun.

The talk is never loud or angry,

And all who come return the next day;

A tranquil place to reconnect

You don’t feel like moving on, you’d rather stay.

The idea of this Last Supper

And putting it in the school grounds;

I believe it was down to the Headmaster

His imagination knows no bounds.

For visitors and school children alike

What a success it has been;

Sitting at the table with Jesus

Is something so rarely ever seen.

So, when you’re out shopping and in a big rush

Please detour round by the school

You’ll see him sitting there, and you’ll pause for a minute

Take it easy, slow down, play it cool.
