The GIFT Team (Growing in Faith Together)
Welcome to our Gift Team’s page…
As members of the GIFT (Growing in Faith Together) Team, we are called to lead our school by following in the footsteps of Jesus. Every day we live by the gospel values and show others how they can do the same. Being a member of the GIFT Team is a challenging but very rewarding task.
The GIFT Team is a model of empowerment for both students and staff. It builds on and extends existing activities and, most importantly, gives young people the chance to grow in confidence and capability as they begin to take ownership of the development of spirituality in their own schools. They live out our school mission, “God Loves Me, God Loves Everyone.”
The aims of the GIFT Team are:
· To help the school to grow as a community of faith
· To encourage the pupils to live their faith in daily living
· To support Liturgy, prayer and the spiritual life of the school
· To involve pupils in fundraising for charities
· To continue to develop strong links with the Parish
· To support the school in its Mission Statement
The duties of the GIFT Team include:
· Helping to plan and lead assemblies and Masses
· Organising and leading class prayer times with other pupils
· Lead before school and lunchtime prayer opportunities throughout the year e.g. Rosary, Prayer Garden, Stations of the Cross
· Ensuring that class and communal prayer areas are tidy and reflect the season
· Organising fund raising for charity
· Supporting younger children with their spiritual development
· Help to monitor and improve the Catholic life of our school
“It is up to you, young followers of Christ, to show the world that faith brings happiness and a joy which is true, full and enduring”. Pope Benedict XVI
