St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Goole currently has a vacancy for one Foundation governor. Governors play a vital role in education and it is very rewarding. By volunteering as a governor for a school you can make a difference by shaping the future of children and young people. Many of you have talents that you are unaware of as yet, and being a governor brings these talents into focus. If this is something you might consider doing please do chat to Barbara or Melonie after Mass in Howden or Mary, Julia or Kevin in Goole.
