Learning for Life and Work is recognised by the school as an ongoing concern with many aspects of the non curricular environment seen as part of the whole learning process. To this extent Learning for Life and Work also involves activities whereby the SELB Youth department delivers projects to pupils throughout the year. We also have organised days with outside agencies coming in to take activities in 'Love for Life', Bullying workshops, Cultural activities etc. St Joseph's College, 29 School Lane, Coalisland, County Tyrone BT71 4NW | T: 028 8774 0510 | info@stjosephs.coalisland.ni.sch.uk Cookie Policy Website Privacy Policy Website Accessibility Statement Website by School Web Design
