Faith in Action Events
End of School Year Mass
Some of our newly recruited Year 5 Faith in Action Team reading at the End of Year Mass in Church. A great start to their points gathering towards their Pin Award at the end of Year 6.
New School Year Mass
New School Year Mass and some more of our Faith in Action Team demonstrating their confident public speaking as they read at Church to bring the Word to School and Parish alike.
FS2 Welcome to Our School Mass
Our Team raised their voices in song as they gathered together to celebrate FS2 children joining our School Family.
St Augustine's Church 90th Anniversary Mass
Some of the FIA Team joined the Parish to contribute to the celebrations through song as they met with Bishop Marcus, Priests from other Parishes, our Lord and Lady Mayoress, and other dignitaries to mark this special occasion. They represented our School and Parish beautifully.
Year 6 Retreat - Shine Your Light!
As always, our Year 6 begin their final year at St Augustine’s with a chance to reflect on; their journey so far, who they are, and the person they want to be seen to be as they transition to High School. We focus our thoughts on how best they can Shine their Light as God wants them to do. They all learn that they have much to offer both locally and globally by participating and contributing to these communities.
The children created this beautiful collaborative piece of art that contains their fingerprints to bring back to their classroom to remind them of this special time in Year 6.
Harvest Mass and Drop Off at the SVP Food Bank
The Faith in Action Team supported our Harvest Mass and collection and delivery to St Vincent’s Centre food bank to support those in need. They understand that we have a responsibility to the poor and know what they need to do to put their Faith in Action.
KS2 Pupil Led Worship
As part of putting their faith into action, theTeam lead a range of Celebrations of the Word as they grow in confidence to share their faith with wider groups and model how to do it reverently and respectfully.
Selling Poppies for the British Legion
Some of the Team out selling poppies in support of the British Legion. Not even the weather stops our determination to raise money for a worthy cause.
Year 6 Mass
Each Year Group at St Augustine’s celebrates Mass led by Father Ghebreyesus over the year in School. The Team contributed through readings of the Word, bidding prayers and singing for staff and parents.
Advent Prayer Stations
Our Faith in Action Team thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Advent reflections themselves. They then went on to support other year groups at the different stations to ensure they too were fully engaged and got the most out of the experience.
Christmas Shoebox Appeal
We understand our responsibility to our global community and those with less than us. The children enjoyed collecting and delivering shoe boxes and were able to explain what we do and why we do it to people who asked as we went to drop them off. They were able to share that they do this because it’s what Jesus wants us to do.
Carol Singing at the Leeds Trinity Shopping Centre
Always a favourite with the Team and their families as they share their beautiful voices in the Trinity Shopping Centre. We are very grateful to the Centre who invites us every year. We were able to raise lots of money to share between CAFOD and Zarach. We even managed to get a few parents to join in for a few songs too!
Lenten Stations of the Cross with Parents During Lent
The Faith in Action Team shared our beautiful new school Stations of the Cross that every class contributed to during Lent. Over 3 Friday mornings they met with Parents in our KS1 Prayer Garden and journeyed around the school sharing reflections and prayers reverently and thoughtfully. Parents thanked the children and expressed their enjoyment of the experience.
Making Rosary Decades
The Team were amazing at making our Decade of the Rosary clips as part of our Lenten Fundraising and raised an unbelievable £187.85 through their hard work giving up lunchtimes and even taking packs home to make more during the weekend. Well Done Team!
