Talbot Centre

Fifth year held an assembly to mark the completion of their Religion Belief and Values Award. This award allows them to put the central values of their faith into action by taking leadership in planning and implementing a wide range of charitable activities to support the Talbot Centre- an organisation that supports vulnerable homeless men.

Fifth year student representatives spoke of how they had been enterprising: from twenty pounds start-up funding each class found ways to make the money grow and in the end eighty bags bursting with toiletries and hundreds of pairs of socks were purchased

The Assembly began with Fr Bruce our School Chaplain blessing the gifts. Then there was a presentation on the life of Matt Talbot. Student Dawid Graczyk added to the warm atmosphere in the event with some great singing and guitar.

Two representatives from the Matt Talbot Centre spoke about the work they do. The visitors remarked that our young people were outstanding and they felt quite uplifted when hearing about what our young people had done to help the homeless.
