The Year 12 Catholic Leadership team is central to the spiritual life of the school, the team consists of a number of Year 12 who have formally applied, been interviewed and selected for the role. They have a variety of chaplaincy responsibilities in the school such as leading on the charity work of the school, lead bible study, creating and delivering liturgical assemblies and assists in retreats for classes in the junior year groups.

The 6^th form leadership team delivered ‘Red Wednesday’ assemblies to all year group in pairs, they were deeply inspired by Joesphine Bakhita, one of our school saints, to talk about always holding on to hope, forgiveness and faith in times of suffering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yr13 Leadership team led assemblies on the Beatitudes, and how they reveal the Christian pathway to obtain happiness, each leader spoke on their 2 favourite teachings. Jessica spoke on our calling to be poor in spirit, to know we need God in every aspect of our lives and His desire for us to completely lean on him.

 

 

On Remembrance Day the Y12 Catholic Leadership team visited the Hackney Cenotaph to lay a wreath and pray for those who have died during the first world war.

 

Our leaders also lead bible study with the Y7 Bible study group. Faith chose to lead on one of her favourite verses of scripture, Proverbs 1:8-19, a focus on the consequence of sharing company with friends who lead you to the wrong path, followed by her own testimony.

 

 

Destiny went back to basics with the Yr 7’s and bible studied the Lord prayer starting off with the significance of knowing God the Father in His role as father.  

 

 

This Advent every form in Y7, 8, 11, 12 and 13 are collecting items to creating hampers for those in need. This year the Y12 Catholic Leadership team and friends helped a group of year 9 students wrap our hampers before they went to all our form room to be filled. With a total of 36 hampers going into the local community we are dedicated to serve!
