Catholic Schools Week 2020 ran from 26th January to 2nd February. The theme of this year’s Catholic Schools Week was ‘Catholic Schools: Living in Harmony with God’s Creation’. The theme encourages us to see that we all have a responsibility to care for the earth, not just for our own future, but for the future of every one of God’s creatures. We celebrated each day’s themes with various events throughout the week. Sixth Year students practiced mindfulness throughout their religion classes to help find some “Harmony” in this time of anticipation for their Mock Examinations. Monday launched the Poster competition to all students to create a poster which reflects the Catholic Schools theme- “living in Harmony.”  

A Love Heart Challenge was held where staff and students had to guess how many love hearts were in the Jar- to highlight “Love of thy Neighbour”. The Green Schools Committee hosted a display in the reception area to highlight their work to help protect the environment, in an attempt to highlight our role to look after God’s creations in nature.  The winner of our Love Heart challenge was Goda Stepanova (Second Year). The overall winner of the Poster competition was Abigail Wilkinson (Transition Year). Thanks to all of the members of the religion department who helped facilitate various activities over the week and to the students who participated in the events over the week.
