Mission Together (The Pope's Official Charity for Overseas Mission)

On Monday 25th February 2019 Mrs Dearden, a representative from Mission Together, visited our school and led an assembly which helped us all to understand this year’s project of prayer and fund raising to help children around the world. Each year Mission Together highlights one of the many projects supporting children across the world. This year’s campaign focuses on Sandra, a seven-year-old pupil at Marka School for Iraqi Refugees in Jordan.

Mission Together (The Pope's Official Charity for Overseas Mission)

On Monday 12th Febraury 2018 Mrs Dearden, a representative from Mission Together, visited our school and led an assembly which helped us all to understand this year’s project of prayer and fund raising to help children around the world.

Mission Together encourages children in England and Wales to pray, fundraise and become missionaries themselves - children helping children. 

Under its original name of Holy Childhood, Mission Together has been active in Catholic schools for one hundred and seventy years. Through the financial contributions of children in England and Wales, Mission Together carries out educational, medical and welfare projects in the poorest areas of the world. Over generations, Missio's work with children has helped to build the family of God. Being universal in character, our projects tend to the needs of all, regardless of background or beliefs; exemplifying the all-embracing nature of the Catholic Church.

The Mission Together prayer is a prayer that the school will be saying throughout Lent and into the Summer term.

Winston’s Wish is a charity which offers practical support and guidance to bereaved children and their families. Members of our school community have direct experience of the good work that they do.

Little Princess Trust is a charity that provides real hair wigs to boys and girls across the UK who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment.  Last year one of our Y6 pupils had her very long hair cut to support this initiative. The children wanted to show their support of Niamh Gallagher by making a donation to the charity.

Well done, everybody!

• Mission Together

This is the Pope's overseas mission charity for children and this year the campaign is Together in Malawi. Mission Together has produced an Advent Calendar for us to use with the children. Attached to the children's homework sheet this week is a copy for you to use at home. The children will also be following it with their class teacher. This year, the theme is 'Light' - both the light of Christ and how every child can shine in their own special way http://www.missiontogether.org.uk

• Francis House Children's Hospice

This is a charity which we have supported because of our strong connections with the children. It is linked with the Hazel Grove Cluster of Primary schools who join together once a year at the Carol Service held at Norbury Church of England where there is always a speaker from Francis House and a collection. During our KS1 Infant Christmas plays money has been raised through raffles to support this charity.

• The Catholic Children's Society

The Good Shepherd Appeal is a nominated charity from the Bishop. In Lent each week the Junior classes create a variety of games which the whole school can participate in. In the final week both KS1 and KS2 bring in toys for a toy sale. All the money raised help to support the poor children of our Diocese.

• South Manchester Down Syndrome Support Group

St Peter's joined together with other schools to support this charity by wearing "Lots of Socks" on the 21st March. The day was to raise positive awareness of Downs Syndrome.
