Each year Bishop Alan celebrates the young people in our Diocese through the citizenship awards. These awards recognise inspirational children throughout Brentwood Diocese, and a wonderful event is held at Brentwood Cathedral. This year St Joseph's nominated Dior in Year 5. 

'Dior has demonstrated resilience, strength and independence whilst taking on the role of main carer for her Mum over the past year. She has remained determined and enthusiastic about her education and continues to always  think about others before herself. She is a great role model to those around her and always ensures that being kind is at the heart of how she conducts herself around school. Dior continues to serve others through her role as a Mini Vinnie at St Joseph's and has led many fundraising activities for the school. She has taken everything in her stride and Dior is a true inspiration to us all'.

Dior was thrilled to receive her award from the Bishop, and enjoyed meeting all of the other children afterwards in the beautiful gardens at Cathedral House. Well done Dior, we are so proud of you!
