Virtues: Curious and Active
Curious about everything; and active in their engagement with the world, changing what they can for the better by leading pupils to be curious about the universe and all human activity, and to take increasing responsibility for their own learning, and by providing opportunities for them to be active in the life of the school, the Church, and the wider community.
Catholic Social Teaching: Rights and Responsibilities
All God’s people have the right to food, work, clothes, a home, school and medical care. These ‘rights’ are things that every person on earth needs in order to live a full life. But many people do not have them. Jesus wants people who enjoy these rights to help their sisters and brothers obtain their rights. It is not enough to feel badly for others. Jesus says it is our responsibility to see that everyone receives his or her rights.
With rights come responsibilities - we have the right to be safe, but the responsibility to make others safe. We have the right to be loved, but the responsibility to be loving. The right to be shown compassion, the responsibility to be compassionate.
Our Class saint is St Bernadette.
Our Lady appeared to St Bernadette in Lourdes 18 times!
Our Lady asked St Bernadette to drink from the dirty water in the stream. St Bernadette did so without questioning and the next day came back to find the water was clean. It was later found that the water had miraculous healing powers making Lourdes a place of pilgrimage for many people.
Our Lady told St Bernadette that she wanted a chapel to be built in Lourdes. St Bernadette was strong to her faith even when others questioned her. Due to her love for God and loyalty to her faith she convinced others to build the chapel which is now visited by millions of people each year.
We are going to use Bernadette example for us this year.
