📢 FYI

📢 Today and tomorrow Years 7/8/9/10 & 12 will be having their rewards presentations alongside some fun activities on the field. More pictures and videos of the events will be posted this week.

We had such an amazing time with the Year 5s last week!

📢 Our Year 12 students have completed their work experience both locally and nationally this week. It was great to see so many students working in a variety of industries including healthcare, construction, finance, teaching, engineering, pharmacy, design and even politics! We hope their experiences will inspire and help inform their future career decisions.

📢 Here are a few more photos from Year 7's successful drop down day.
Pupils made items of clothing from recycling after they had looked at the effect waste is having on our world.

They completed a lesson on the Papal Encyclical 'Laudato Si' and wrote a pledge on a recycled hand. These were displayed as part of the liturgy and fashion show at the end of the day.

Miss Clensy's RE class took the pledges into the chapel today for a special prayer.

📢 This week Year 7 had their Drop Down Day, where students are off the timetable and explore a specific topic. That topic was "Recycling and global waste"

As well as written tasks, students had a practical task of creating items out of recyclable materials.

📢 Y10 Health and Social Care students visited Aldridge today to look at barriers that can prevent people from accessing services.

💃Year 13 Prom🕺

📢 We recently harvested our first vegetables from the garden, there was a buzz of excitement as we realised we could now create a meal with the produce.🥕 🥔

Chiara kindly offered to take them home and create a cottage pie.

We then shared the pie at lunchtime in Emmaus. It tasted wonderful, especially knowing we had grown the vegetables.

📢 Catering Excellence!
Congratulations to our Catering team for winning the LACA Secondary School Catering Team of the Year Award!🎉
