Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Years 5 & 6 had a wonderful day at Stonyhurst College and St Mary’s Hall.
In the morning at Stonyhurst College, they learnt about chemical reactions and how gas can make a very small canister explode. Following this, they watched rocket launching, which was fired from electricity and released its own parachute when descending. One of the teachers gave a presentation about gravity and how people move and live in space with zero gravity.
In the afternoon, the children went to St Mary’s Hall theatre to watch a very entertaining production of Bugsy Malone.
On Sunday 4th June 2017, some of our children in Year 3 made their first Holy Communion. This is such a special celebration in their journey of faith and they had a wonderful day, supported by their families, fellow pupils, parishioners, staff and governors. They have spent several months preparing for their First Sacraments, supported by Mrs Jackson.
We hope that with the support of their families, they will attend Mass regularly and deepen their Faith.
Helena in Year 6 was one of 5 winners of the Salford Diocese vocations prayer competition!
Helena had to write a prayer for all Bishops and her prayer was chosen out of all the local Catholic primary schools who entered the competition in our Deanery – St John Southworth. In fact, Bishop Arnold, chose her prayer himself! Helena, Madeleine and their families were very fortunate to be invited to the Bishop’s House, Wardley Hall, for lunch and for the formal presentation of certificates.
HELENA’S PRAYER
Father in Heaven,
Please can you help all the bishops to make the right decisions and use the knowledge of God in what they say and do. To be brave in meetings, to make the people of their dioceses happier and thankful for the life God has given them. I hope that they shepherd us all through life and care for us all.
Amen
