Faith Council
St Charles School has a team of dedicated Faith Council members who promote the Catholic Ethos in our school and are great role models to the other children. In their role, they play a vital part in enhancing the religious life and prayer life of our school.
The council meet twice every half term. We are committed to having a strong pupils’ voice and encourage the children to think of their own ideas, and how to promote our school values and vision.
Part of their role includes:
* To support the school in its Mission Statement.
* To help our school to be a community of faith.
* To encourage all children, and staff, to witness their faith in their daily lives.
* To develop good relationships within and beyond out school community.
* To support the prayer, Liturgy and spiritual life of the school.
* To promote the principles of Catholic Social Teaching in our community, including leading on fundraising events.
* To continue to develop strong links with our parish community.

Family Prayer Initiative In September, the Faith Council met with Mr. Wilson, a parent and governor of our school, to work on a new initiative called Family Prayer. The Faith Council introduced and explained the new initiative during Celebration of the Word at the end of September, it was launched to parents on 1st October. October, the month of the Holy Rosary, seemed like a fitting time to start the initiative. Each week, families had the opportunity to pray together in different ways including through Lectio Divian, Rosary and sung prayer. We hope that our families enjoyed experiencing prayer together and we plan to do this again during Advent. |
Our Faith Council created a super visual marking the Pilgrims of Hope Jubilee year which was presented at a special Deanery School Mass held in January.
