As part of our school fundraising we would like to support the NSPCC and 'Light Space' charities.

On Thursday 20th October 2022 we will be having a non uniform day. Could your child please wear something green (clothing or accessories) and bring in a donation to help us support these charities.

(Children who are attending the football tournament should bring their PE kit to school with them.)

Thank you to everyone who donated cakes and came to our cake sale on Friday 30th September 2022.

With your generosity, we managed to raise just over £124 for Macmillan.

Tea and coffee is available in church at the end of the assembly.

After the shine assembly on Friday 30th September we shall be holding a cake sale in the school hall.

We are asking for a small donation for each cake, with all money raised being donated to Macmillan.

To help us raise as much money for charity as possible, we would be grateful for any donations of cakes (home made or shop bought).

St Sebastian's school will be closed on Monday 19th September due to being a National Bank Holiday to mark Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral.

The Department of Education has released a statement saying that all schools and colleges will be closed on this day, in line with other national bank holidays. The school apologises for any inconvenience that this will cause.

School will reopen on Tuesday 20th September.

The pupils, staff and governors at St Sebastian's School are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The moral standards, devotion to service, aspirations, courage, friendship, perseverance, care and empathy demonstrated so consistently throughout her long reign are an inspiration to the whole school community as we collectively mourn the nation's loss. 

The school had a moment of silence, reflection and prayer this morning. Link to BBC Newsround

Prayer

Gracious God, we give thanks

through Jesus Christ our Lord.
