I am running the Reading Half Marathon on Sunday 23 March with some fabulous colleagues from @sjcrmain in Reading. If anyone would like to sponsor me raising funds for Guide Dogs, I’d be very grateful. Thank you 🙏 justgiving.com/page/st-joseph…

Lunchtime was full of laughter (and a few soggy teachers!) as students took on Sponge the Teacher in support of our College charity, @guidedogs. For a £1 donation, pupils had the chance to soak their teachers – all for a great cause! #SpongeTheTeacher #GuideDogsUK

On Friday, guide dog volunteer Stuart & his amazing dog Olivia visited to speak at our Senior & Prep assemblies! He shared how he lost his sight & how Olivia helps him daily. We're proud to support @guidedogs as our College Charity this year. #GuideDogs #CollegeCharity

#AI is now predicting the weather- faster, more accurate & 1,000x more energy-efficient. As @ECMWF deploys its first AI-based forecasting model, Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez from @UniRdg_Met calls it “A landmark shift for meteorology” 👀: rdg.ac/3EYGMbm

Heavy snow falling in NY State today. Some parts of the US could see upwards of 5 feet of snow due to the lake effect in the coming days. ⛄️
