On Friday 20th November 2015, a selection of students from Year 7 and 8 were invited to carol sing at M&S, Rickmansworth. These students have shown an interest in their carol singing projects this term. A selection of Sixth Form students also packed away customers’ shopping. These activities helped raised funds for the PFA. We received positive comments from lots of the public and great fun was had by all!
Come and join us for an Udayan Coffee Morning
Monday 19th October in the hall.
Treat yourself (or a friend) to a hot drink and a cake or biscuit and raise money to help a child at Udayan
Take a look at our PPT about last year’s fund-raising activities to find out why we are running this event.
Thank you

Year 11 ARC groups have been working hard this term putting their faith into action. One of our groups had focussed on the refugee crisis. They felt they wanted to do something to help and so looked to the advice of Cardinal Vincent Nichols. The Cardinal suggested that Catholics can above all else pray. So with this in mind one of our groups prepared an all day prayer vigil for Wednesday 7th October. They prepared TCT resources for tutor groups, they wrote letters to the Cardinal inviting him to join us. (unfortunately he is in Rome with the pope!)Students prepared a power point as a focus for groups in the chapel.Groups were brought down in their RE lessons for 20 minutes at a time to pray for refugees in crisis. The chapel remained a constant place of prayer all day with staff and students covering break and lunchtime. Everyone agreed it was a worthwhile undertaking. Well done year 11 ARC!

This year we are going to be producing a showcase of work for the end of term and working towards entering groups in the speech and drama categories at the Watford festival in March but all students are also welcome to come along, ‘just for fun’.
See Mrs Wilcher, Miss King or Miss Dean if you have any questions.
Year 13 A.R.C have been looking into the ‘Catholic Worker Farm’ which offers accommodation and support to 22 destitute female asylum seekers and their children. All of the women have been homeless and have been recommended to the Catholic worker Farm by refugee services. The Catholic Worker Farm gains no support from the government and strongly relies upon donations. This year, the 13 A.R.C group will be supporting this cause by collecting basic items which may seem little to many of us but is of great importance to the Farm. Already they have shown great generosity and I am sure that this will continue to be the case. Keep up the brilliant work! “Jesus came to serve not to be served.”
