Year 6 Pupil Leaders at the Trust Synod Day

Recently, a group of our Year 6 pupil leaders had the wonderful opportunity to represent our school at a special ASCAT (All Saints Catholic Academy Trust) Synod and Mass.

The focus of the day was welcoming and preparing for the expansion of our family of schools. Just as our own home families grow with new siblings and cousins, our Trust family is getting bigger too and welcoming more schools, giving us even more friends to learn, pray, and grow alongside.

 Together, we reflected on the Gospel values that form the solid roots of our tree, helping us bear good fruit as followers of Jesus, and we created a representation of this in front of the Church altar.

We also took part in interactive workshops and quizzes, which gave everyone a chance to mix with pupils from across the Trust, share ideas, and make new friends.

The day included  a beautiful Mass at the Church of Our Lady Queen of All Creation. We were exceptionally proud of Maggie, who wrote and read a moving bidding prayer during the service, which is particularly appropriate for this week of Remembrance:

We pray for those suffering the pains of war, illness, poverty and especially for refugees that they may be cared for and find happiness, love and peace. We pray that they may be eternally held in the loving arms of the resurrected Lord. Resurrected Lord, hear our prayer.

Reflecting on the day, our Pupil Leaders said:

We all had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful Mass. It was fun to have lunch there too! We felt proud to be a part of the family of schools together.

Well done to our Year 6 pupil leaders for representing our school so well- we are very proud of you. A special thank you also goes to Deacon Liam and his team for planning an inspirational and well-organised day.
