Catholic Schools' Week 24th - 31st January

Catholic Schools’ Week is being celebrated this year from Sunday 24 January 2021 - Sunday 31 January 2021. This year's celebration is taking a different format, as the current COVID pandemic restricts how we usually mark it.

This year's theme is Communities of Faith & Resilience, which is important for us to model for our children at this time.

We will celebrate Catholic Schools’ Week in a number of ways:

Class Activities

The children will be directed, to complete an activity each day linked to this year's theme.

Daily Prayer

Mrs McConway will guide the children in a short daily prayer session each morning of Catholic Schools’ Week. This will be posted on Seesaw for children learning at home.

Grandparents' Day

Usually, this event is one of the highlights of the year, as the children’s grandparents play a huge role in their lives. We feel, as a school, that the children must have an opportunity to tell their grandparents or a significant other relative who plays a similar role in their lives, how much they love them, especially when they haven't seen them as much as they would like to due to the current circumstances. On Wednesday we will ask all our children to call their grandparents. Some of our grandparents have passed, we can celebrate their lives by recalling a special memory and saying a special prayer.
