🏃‍♂️ District Cross Country! 🏃‍♀️

What a day! 🙌 A fantastic effort from the whole MC team, with some standout performances along the way.

🥉 Jacob W – Year 11: 3rd place
🥈 Zach P – Year 7: 7th place

But the results only tell part of the story. No one gave up! Every runner pushed themselves, and the support, encouragement and cheering across all age groups was incredible to see. 👏

From the start line to the finish, there was a real sense of MC family spirit — supporting one another, celebrating each other’s successes and lifting each other up when the going got tough. 💙

So proud of everyone who took part. What a team! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💪

In their recent RE lessons, Year 11 have been exploring Sacred Objects and Vessels used within Catholic Christianity, developing their understanding of how these items help Catholics to focus during worship and prayer.

Pupils have also been learning about vestments worn within the Church, exploring the significance of the different colours and how they link to the seasons of the Church year.

As part of the lesson, pupils even had the opportunity to try on some of the vestments themselves – proving that they still enjoy dressing up, even in Year 11!

A range of activities took place for pupils and staff over Fairtrade Fortnight.
These included a quiz to highlight some of the various products available on the Fairtrade market so that farmers get a better deal for their products. Fairtrade Pledges where commitments were made to swapping an ordinary item such as tea, coffee, chocolate, bananas, etc. for a Fairtrade one were made and the positive impact on people lives when opting to buy Fairtrade bananas was also explained to pupils in form groups.

Thank you to our Geography department for organising these awareness activities.
