Example of Charitable Works from last year
Year 3 – CAFOD HARVEST LUNCH
Each year, Year 3 pupils shop for and make the CAFOD Harvest Lunch.
In doing so, the children learn about children from around the world who suffer from hunger and they children write prayers.
The children learn about the incredible work of CAFOD.
The children demonstrate the CST principles of:
Human Dignity, Participation, Solidarity, Subsidiarity, Preferential Option for the Poor and Distributive Justice
Catholic Life of the School
Life at St James the Great
The Catholic Life of the school is at the heart of our mission.
