Mini Vinnies

21st November 2022Mr J Morgan
Today, there was a launch assembly for the children to apply to become Mini Vinnies with guest speaker, Mary Rooke.
Mini Vinnies are 7 to 11 year olds based in schools and parishes across England and Wales, and in several other countries across the world. They come together to form a part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in England and Wales, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms.
Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities.
The children were encouraged to apply to become a Mini Vinnie and they will meet regularly to discuss projects they want to become involved in to make our school, community and world a better place.

CST Workshops

16th September 2022Mr J Morgan

Our Year 3 and 4 children had a workshop today about the Catholic Social Teachings. The children were spoken to about CAFOD and a little about the work they do. They watched a short video about a letter written from Pope Francis about looking after and loving our brothers and sisters. We looked at four of their nine principles – Taking part, Putting people in most need first, Thinking of everyone and showing we care. The children read through some scenarios and decided which scenario was relevant to the nine principles. The children shared some great ideas.
