Yr 8 Basketball team become City Champions!

18th November 2019Miss A Kane
On Wednesday 13th November the Y8 basketball team became city champions. Tobe Iroegbu-Duruh, Phallen Wakeley and Taran Bougan were the winning three. To make things even better they played our other Y8 basketball team in the final, which consisted of Osasumwen Irabor, Aedan Mapolo and Jarnel Kilworth-Singh-Sidhu. It was a great game that was tied at the end of normal time. It required over time to separate the teams.
And even more good news from the same evening was that the Y9/10 basketball team finished with silver medals. This team consisted of Raymond Aneke, Roy Aneke, Adriel Sarmiento and Chibuike Ojeli who played very well in the group stages and beat a Kings team in the semi final to setup one final game on the evening. Ths was also against a Kings team who eventually won the competition. It was a very good evening of basketball and all involved in the 3v3 competitions should feel very proud of themselves. They have learned a lot which they can take into their league fixtures –  which are coming up over the next few months.
Well done and keep up the good work (training on a Monday!!!).
Mr Selvey.

Lourdes 2019: the first of many

21st August 2019Miss A Kane

The first Saint Edmunds trip to Lourdes has been deemed a success by all who participated and, according to the Principal, Mrs Hazeldine, this trip will not be the last.  She has already confirmed that she wants this to become another tradition for the school and for all who want to go. She has said she is considering increasing the amount of students who attend all future trips.

The lucky individuals who went on the one week trip joined Mrs Hazeldine and Mrs Letheren in a moving experience which included visiting the Basilica, taking part in mass, helping other pilgrims as well as many other activities which culminated in a great trip for all who went.

Alton Castle

13th February 2019Mrs D Ferris

For 3 days, 35 students from year 7 and 8 experienced the delights of Alton Castle Catholic Retreat Centre in Alton Staffordshire. The theme for the retreat was ’Who am I?’ The students were to consider how they view themselves, how friends view them, family and God.
‘He counts the Stars and Calls them all by name’ Psalm 147:7
They then faced a range of challenges, such as survival skills, archery, trekking and a climbing wall. They also looked at the three things we need to survive, water, food and shelter. This helped them look at what they are capable of and how to work as a team.
They had opportunities to pray and attend Mass Celebrated with Fr Thé Quang Nguyen in St John the Baptist Church, on the grounds of the Castle.
The weather was frosty, many layers were needed but fun was had by all.

In case no-one told you today, you are God’s work of Art,
Wonderfully made, knit together by the almighty,
Anticipated since the beginning of time,
You are called to a unique and specific purpose.
You are not rubbish, and you never were,
Because God does not make rubbish
It is time to be fearfully and wonderfully you!
You are….FANTASTIC!
