Here in St. Joseph's Primary School, we believe that all of our children are special and unique. They have so many gifts and talents and make our school a very special place. Each of us wants every child in St. Joseph's to reach their full potential in every aspect of their education. This little poem shows us that there is so much more to every child in our school.
So Much More
By B. Banks
You, dear child, are so much more,
Than a number, a percentage, a level or score,
You’re a brilliant artist painting a scene,
A wonderful poet describing a dream.
An author creating mystery and surprise,
A rugby player scoring a hat trick of tries,
A chorister singing a beautiful song,
A mathematician who is rarely wrong.
A sailor sailing away in a boat,
A musician hitting the perfect note,
An athlete winning the medal of gold,
A fearless adventurer so brave and so bold.
The list is long, and I could go on,
You really are a talented one,
Your tests are important but be in no doubt,
They do not define what you are about.
You see dear child, you are so much more,
Than a number, a percentage, a level or score.
