Year 6 Residential Day 1
Harvest Appeal
This year we were mindful of the impact of food poverty on our local community. We therefore decided to collect food for our local Foodbank.
We would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to our amazing families for their generosity during this time.

Water Aid
I am so proud of our school community, led by year 6, who did such an amazing job in supporting Water Aid, for our Catholic Social Teaching focus. The whole school formed a massive pupil pipeline to illustrate the challenges faced by those who do not have immediate access to clean drinking water, including 1 in 3 schools who do not have access to clean drinking water and toilets. The SMC pipeline transported 10 litres of water, by hand and bucket to bucket, to replicate the reality faced by many school children (usually girls) who have to miss school to support their families and fetch and carry water, often over great distances. It was a wonderful learning opportunity for all and it was fantastic to see children beginning to understand the hardship and challenges faced by other children across the world and to recognise the importance of helping those who are less fortunate than us. In total 4.75 litres remained at the end of the challenge, again another learning opportunity to see how demoralising it can be, after all of the hard work, that through evaporation and spillages, far less remained than that initially gathered. In total £260.91 was raised by pupils across the school for Water Aid. Thanks to all of you in the school community who donated and well done to the children on completing their Water Aid pupil pipeline challenge!
