This term the school council are focusing on the theme from St Francis of Assisi: “Care for Creation'. We will work towards gaining our school an 'eco school' accreditation as we focus on keeping our school and grounds environmentally friendly. We will also have a focus on recycling for Recycling Week (16-22 October) by taking part in a nationwide big recycling hunt! We will also be gathering pupil voice about the new school lunches.

What makes a good rep?

Sport and Wellbeing Committee: 2023/24

Our dedicated Sport and Wellbeing Committee whose role is to promote the importance and value of Sport and act as role models to younger children at lunch and play times.  They also help promote good emotional and mental wellbeing. The Committee meets half termly and is led by Mr Fitzgerald, our Senior Sports Coach and Mrs W Clark, PE and Sport/Mental Health Lead.

Chaplaincy Team: 2023/24

This is our Chaplaincy Team 2023/2024. Their primary role is to build upon and embed the excellent work of last year’s team in developing the prayer life of the school through planning, being involved with and leading Acts of Worship, Liturgy and Fundraising Opportunities. Our Chaplaincy Team (and other pupil voice groups) are excellent role-models for all pupils throughout the school; these groups contribute significantly to our Catholic life and mission and are very proactive in their roles, for example through planning and leading weekly prayer groups and leading "Wednesday Word" Liturgy with the core purpose of explaining the Gospel reading to younger pupils.

We ask God to bless each member of the team: Pheobe, Amelia Jo, Aoife, Sonia, Jake, Dominic, Harrison, Ivy, George, Amelia Ja, Eliseo and Eva. May he fill them with the gift of the Holy Spirit so that they can be true ambassadors of Christ and reflect our Mission Statement every day.
