April 2022
We are one of the first schools in Birmingham to have Caritas Ambassadors. Mrs Damms and Miss Foster went on a training day to learn all about it with Sister Judith Rossi.
Mrs Damms presented a presentation to year 4 and 5. They were told all about it and asked if they would like to be involved.
The children completed an application form and handed it in. Then they also presented their presentation to Miss Foster, Mrs Williams and Ms Manning.
8 children were then chosen to be the Charitas Ambassadors. The other children will be their assistants.
On the 28th April 2022 Mrs Damms, Miss Foster and the Ambassadors went to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Rednal. They had a day of training and then were commissioned by Bishop David.
