He runs the whole school and always goes into our classes. He is very nice to the pupils especially when they do good work. He does our assembly’s sometimes. When he’s not in Mr. Hill is the head teacher. At St. Joseph’s all 247 pupils have a chance to play a musical instrument. Some choose guitar, others choose piano or brass. Our three musical teachers are Mr Housely, Mr. Owen and Mr. Byers. All of them work for the music centre in Oldham. We have a motto that is love to learn and learn to love. It is at the front of the school.
