Extra-Curricular Opportunities
“A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints.”
(from Pope Benedict’s address to young people, St Mary’s College, Twickenham, September 2010)
As well as leading and organising the moments of collective worship and retreats, our Chaplaincy Team of staff and students also offers a number of opportunities for students and staff to explore and deepen their faith both within and outside of school.
