• FOOD WASTE CHALLENGE

  Wed 31 Jan 2018

  As part of our work towards our second Green Flag, we are taking part in the FOOD WASTE CHALLENGE, challenging us to tackle the issue of food waste at school and at home by recycling more. Each family will receive internal waste bin stickers and a family pledge for pupils to sign along with their family to keep at home, promising that they are going to be food waste heroes.

   

  We have already taken part in a Food Waste Survey about our food waste recycling at home and in school and we are looking forward to finding out more about what actions we can take to reduce food waste in school and in our homes.

   

  And there are some great prizes to be won as part of the challenge. One school in each council area will win £200 for the best Home Actions photo and £300 for the Best School Actions to reduce food waste. So please remember to record anything you do at home to reduce food waste… using brown food bins, composting, using up leftovers etc. We’ll forward an email address after half term to send your photos to.

   

  Remember to keep an eye on the school website for Eco-School updates on this and other events.

   

  Enjoy the challenge & have fun!

• CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK - TUESDAY

  Tue 30 Jan 2018

  Our School Family

   

  Schools do not replace parents, but complement them. This is a basic principle: ‘all other
  participants in the process of education are only able to carry out their responsibilities in the name of
  the parents, with their consent and, to a certain degree, with their authorization.’ (Amoris Laetitia, 84)

   

  Our school is like a family. We all belong together in a special way. We are all connected in a special
  way in our school. We do lots of activities by ourselves, in groups, as a class and as a school.

   

  Loving God, hear our prayer.
  Keep our school family in your loving care,
  Today and always.
  Amen.

  Our Family at Home

   

  We all belong to a family. Even though families are all different and live in many different places, they share one thing: love.

   

  Loving God hear our prayer.

  Keep our family in your loving care,

  Today and always.

  Amen.
