Throughout this Christmas period 2023, staff and students have been raising money for our very worthy charity, Newcastle West End Foodbank.
In total, our school filled a minibus with much needed food and toiletry items to donate, along with an amazing £1180 in cash!
Thank you SO much to all staff and student, for of your generous support and contributions. This will make such a difference to the people that the Food Bank serves - especially at this time of year, which can be challenging for many. You have truly embraced the Goal of COMMUNITY, as our 180 hours of service to honour 180 years since the Sacred Heart Society was established comes to an end.
A big thank you also to our Sixth Form Goal Ambassadors for their candy cane selling efforts and to Miss Rowell and the CoPE students for donating their Christmas stall proceeds to our charity. Thank you to our John Paul II Award students, who spent time sorting out, categorising and bagging up the donations. And a final thank you to Mrs Mason, Miss Lewis, Miss Hall and the Goal Ambassadors for delivering our donations to the Food Bank.
In addition to our charity efforts, our Goals Ambassador students delivered some festive cheer to our local care home, St Catherine's, by sharing Christmas cards which were made in school throughout the last week of term.
Thank you to all students and staff for embracing the true message of Christmas and acting with an open heart.
Merry Christmas to you all and wishing you the very best for 2024!
