Our dedicated Art Club has been working closely with the art teachers at **St Michael’s Catholic Academy**, creating a thoughtful and symbolic memorial stone to mark **Holocaust Memorial Day**. This collaborative project wasn’t just about creativity; it was about understanding the past, showing respect, and expressing compassion through artwork. The children were invited to attend a moving Holocaust Memorial Day liturgy at St Michael’s, where they placed their handmade stone at the memorial statue. It was a powerful moment - quiet, reflective, and deeply meaningful. Our pupils represented the school with great sensitivity and maturity, fully aware of the importance of what they were contributing to. A heartfelt thank you goes to **St Michael’s Catholic Academy** for welcoming our pupils so warmly and supporting them throughout this creative journey. And of course, huge congratulations to our talented children, whose artwork and attitude truly captured the spirit of remembrance. Their commitment, care, and empathy shine through in everything they do, and we couldn’t be prouder. ![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/images/626763555_1278560537657964_7414368794816852126_n.jpg) [ A Day of Pure Joy: UV Dodgeball Lights Up Our School!](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-02-03-a-day-of-pure-joy-uv-dodgeball-lights-up-our-school) [Celebrating the Magic of National Storytelling Week ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-02-10-celebrating-the-magic-of-national-storytelling-week) ![St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School Low Grange Avenue Billingham TS23 3NN 01642 560056 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/St-Josephs-Billingham-103735271280859/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Newsletters](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news-events/newsletters) - [Accelerated Reader](https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/6709571) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/St-Josephs-Billingham-103735271280859/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephs_billingham/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
