Catholic Social Teaching
We feel privileged to be able to work so closely alongside CAFOD, who regularly visit school to deliver workshops, assemblies and to visit the classrooms. Dr Petula Nurse has delivered workshops and assemblies on the Catholic Social Teaching and more recently has visited school ( Monday 10th March 2025) to deliver workshops on the Year of Hope.
Our Foundation Governor, Mr Mutsigwa, is the local CAFOD representative, so this strong partnership is strengthened through this personal engagement with the school.
CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING
STEWARDSHIP - CARE FOR CREATION
STEWARDSHIP - CARE FOR CREATION
Who turned the wonderworld of the seas into underwater cemeteries bereft of colour and life?
Catholic Bishops of the Philippines, 1988
We need to be wise in how we share the world and work together to promote using resources wisely and we need to learn in what our role is to help our common home.
We show we care for creation by:
taking responsibility for our environment
make a serious commitment to combat the culture of waste.
making environmentally responsible choices
having awe and wonder for the natural world
THE DIGNITY OF WORK & PARTICIPATION
THE DIGNITY OF WORK & PARTICIPATION
A small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the labouring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself.
Rerum Novarum, 1891
Through our work, we help others to learn and grow closer to God. We know that we are all ‘Co-Workers’ and we work to contribute. We will try and work hard at school to become productive adults in the future.
We show we care for The Dignity of Work and Participation by:
working hard at school to become productive adults in the future
respecting all workers
contributing to society
making responsible economic choices
supporting wellbeing and workers' rights
sharing our talents with others
THE OPTION FOR THE POOR & VULNERABLE
THE OPTION FOR THE POOR & VULNERABLE
The spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has anointed me to bring the good news to the afflicted. He has sent me… to let the oppressed go free.
Luke 4:18
We believe that all resources on earth should be shared with all. We find ways to work together to support the poor and vulnerable.
We show a preferential option for the poor and vulnerable by:
fundraising for charitable causes
raising awareness
treating others with dignity and respect
thinking of the needs of others
