St Edmund's Catholic Academy Sixth Form

On Friday 20th October Sixth Form students and and St Edmund's Catholic Academy staff wore PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness Day💟

Thanks to your generous donations, we raised over £100!

Wear It Pink can be seen as an opportunity to embody the Christian values of charity and compassion. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support. Participating in Wear It Pink allows individuals to demonstrate their commitment to helping those in need, especially those facing the challenges of illness. It reflects the principle of love and care for our neighbors, emphasizing the importance of solidarity and community support in times of adversity. By donning pink attire and participating in related activities, we can show their dedication to alleviating suffering and promoting the well-being of all, in accordance with the teachings of Christ.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. - Psalm 18:2

Year 13 students are running a disco for St Edmund's Catholic Academy Year 7 students on Thursday 9th November!

Payment and consent for Year 7 students can be made on ParentPay.

Edie, St Edmund's Catholic Academy Therapy Dog, popped into our Sixth Form Wellbeing Room today to take some time out and read some books from our Sixth Form Library! 🐶📚

Mr Petrie recommends 'Prisoners of Geography' by Tim Marshall. What are you reading at the moment?

Some of our Year 12 students recently attended a Healthcare Science Insight day with New Cross Hospital.

Jiar said the day was an 'eye opening experience and really informative' and Brittany said 'it was a really beneficial opportunity to gain an insight of hands on experience about healthcare sciences, which helped me to develop a further understanding about these career paths to benefit my future'.

A huge thank you to the NHS Futures Programme for giving our students this opportunity!

Thank you to our MFL department for running St Edmund's Macmillan Coffee Morning last Friday!

Blue Peter is a popular British children's television program that awards badges for various achievements and contributions by young viewers.

Year 13 student, Rowan, highlighted to Year 7 students the achievements of badge recipients, she went on to discuss the program's history and values, and inspire others to participate. It's a fun and educational way to encourage children to get involved in activities and make positive contributions to their communities.
