Religious Life of the School
We marked the 7th anniversary of the Grenfell tragedy with our special liturgy on Thursday morning, June 13th. We remembered those who died and those who were bereaved in our community.
We invited the school community to wear green to mark this anniversary. We do this to remember those who died and also to celebrate and thank people who donated clothes, food, and their time to help hundreds who had lost their homes and families on that dreadful night.
First Holy Communion Assembly
Congratulations again to our boys and girls who received their First Holy Communion in May.
This morning they presented a wonderful Assembly on the theme of the Sacraments, of Reconciliation and The Eucharist, to a packed hall where their mums and dads were beaming with pride.
RE Home Learning
Gospel: Heaven is like small seeds growing strong (Mark 4:26-34)
Using the Wednesday Word link below, read this Sunday’s Gospel
and reflect on the questions below with your family.
You will have an opportunity to discuss them again next week in School.
https://www.paperturn-view.com/uk/wednesday-word/messenger?pid=MTA101634&v=5.5
- Why did Jesus tell his disciples these two parables? What was he trying to teach them?
- Who do you think the man in the first parable is supposed to be?
- Who are the seeds?
- Why is Heaven like this, do you think? What did Jesus say about the smallest and weakest going to Heaven?
- Jesus said, “I commission you to go out and to bear fruit. Fruit that will last”. What did he mean by saying, “fruit that will last”? How do we know that the fruit has lasted?

Be sunsmart
When we eventually get some good weather, please remember that on sunny days children need to bring in a sunhat to wear during breaks and a bottle of water. We also advise that you apply factor 30 or higher sun cream to your child’s face, neck, arms and legs before bringing them to school in the morning.
Children are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school every day to ensure they are hydrated so that they have access to water at all times.
