Our Lenten Campaigns: Generosity in Action
Date: 9th Apr 2026 @ 8:55pm
Throughout Lent, our children showed incredible generosity, compassion and leadership through a variety of fundraising and service projects. They raised funds for charities, supported our local community, and engaged in activities that reflected the values of Catholic Social Teaching.
- Nursery and Reception sold juice and biscuits on Fridays to support Mary’s Meals, helping children around the world access daily meals and education.
- Year 1 collected food and toiletries for a local foodbank.
- Year 2 held a “guess the number of marbles” activity to raise money for Caritas, with the winner receiving a personally chosen storybook.
- Year 3 also collected donations for a local foodbank.
- Year 4 ran a pre-loved toy and book sale to support Caritas and local families.
- Year 5 organized a giant litter pick around the school and Wilson Road, alongside posters to raise environmental awareness.
- Year 6 focused on care for creation, creating “One Little Thing…” posters to encourage the school community to take small actions to protect our planet.
Staff also supported the efforts by donating Easter eggs for a Holy Week raffle, with all proceeds going to St Joseph’s Penny (Caritas).
Each campaign inspired compassion, awareness, and action. We were so proud of the children’s creativity, commitment, and willingness to serve others.
