It was extremely humbling and a privilege to be chosen to visit our local food bank. It made me realise how fortunate we are and how easy it is for anyone to undergo hard times and find themselves in a situation where they must choose to pay the rent or to eat. Giving our donations made me feel proud of our Catholic community and has helped encourage me to want to do more for others. It was surprising to hear how many people need our local food bank and made it very clear that hard times can affect us all. It felt great to put our faith into action and follow the teachings of Christ, by supporting ‘The Trussell Trust food bank’ we are really helping those who have met troubled time. Jesus taught us to ‘do to others as you would have them do to you’. We would like to say a huge thank you to both year 10 and 11 for their tremendous generosity as they have truly helped so many people in the community. No doubt year 9 will be as great.”

Year 12 A’level Art students took part in a weaving workshop with artist Jo Atherton.
Atherton is an artist who creates fascinating and playful tapestries using flotsam and materials found from scouring the coastlines of the UK.
She is fascinated by the curiosities that the tides wash up on to our beaches, the history associated with them, where they came from and who they belonged to.
Jo’s work is currently on display at the Artismeet gallery in Watersmeet until 26th February 2026.More about Jo can be found at www.flotsamweaving.com

The most famous celebrations happens in Venice and Viareggio and the most famous masks are Pulcinella and Harlequin

On the 10th of December year 13 pupils were escorted to ‘The Catholic Worker Farm’ to donate items that they have been collecting as a year group since September. I would like to commend them on their efforts. Weekly they have supported the cause, which offers accommodation for 22 destitute women whom without the farm, would be on the street with their children. During the trip the pupils commented on how it helped them ‘realise how lucky I really am’ and the struggles that some people who are just around the corner from us have. They truly put the Catholic teachings into action. ‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me’ Mt 25:35-36.
What an exciting day all round!
On the 7th December, as part of the Arsenal in the Community initiative, Arsenal Ladies and Hertsmere Borough Council’s commitment to delivering football and educational sessions in the borough, we were lucky enough to be invited to the first Arsenal Ladies Double Club Tournament! This was held at Arsenal’s Training Centre in London Colney, which is generally NOT open to the public!
As per the Double Club model, teams from across the area competed in both a football tournament and a classroom based literacy session at the Training Centre. The classroom session and the tournament carried equal weighting towards the team’s overall score.
Our Girls won 2 out of the 4 games that we played. Playing with sheer determination, teamwork and sportsmanship.
In our classroom based activities, the girls took part in a range of educational literacy based activities. To finalise, each team had to prepare a discussion topic to present to the other schools, with arguments for and against. Our topic area was related to the new FIFA 16 now including woman international teams. The girls’ presentation was unbelievable, I could not have been prouder!
We finished 1st overall in the competition!!! WELL DONE GIRLS!!!!
As if that was not all enough, the Girls were then introduced to international female football icon Kelly Smith, where they were given the opportunity to ask her questions and take photographs with her.
It was an incredible experience for the girls and a day, I hope, they will remember for a very long time.
