Exam Stress Busting

Exam season is well under way now, how are you coping with that? Some of you will be sailing through it but a lot of you may be stressed, worried, wondering why others can take it so easily and yet you still find it hard to relax during this time of year.

Anne-Marie and Jeremy are going to take a group of Y11 toY13 students to Ampleforth on Wednesday 30th May to meet Father Terrence for an exam stress-relief trip. Anyone who is interested then get in touch with Anne-Marie asap to book your place!

Film Night

Tonight at The English Martyrs Sixth Form College, we will be showing the movie Karol. This is a full length feature film about the life of Pope John Paul II before his papacy. It is one of the most inspiring films ever made and recommend that if you have nothing else to do tonight you should definitely come along and join us. It begins at 6.30 and will finish at 10.00 (there is an interval)

The certificate of the film is 12 so anyone under 12 are unfortunately not able to come.

See you there!

Year 9 Retreat - Day 2

Here we are, day 2 on the Year 9 Retreat and it is just fantastic. Right now, Cody is talking to us about the parable of the Lost Sheep and the choices that we make in life. Sheep always know the voice of their shepherd and that is our choice to listen to the voice of God calling us and talking to us! Find the good in life even when bad things are thrown at us.

We watched a video reflection about a surfer called Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm after being bitten by a shark but she made a choice to still serve God and use the gift of surfing he has given her even if she has a disability.

Earlier today we played an epic game called Capture the Flag. We all got really muddy and it was loads of fun but it was totally worth it. It was really a brilliant game!
