St Wilfrid’s was quieter than usual on 5th October, as many students in Yrs 7 & 8 took part in sponsored silences through the day. Assemblies for all year groups through the week focussed on CAFOD and its work, reminding students of the need for us as Christians to support those in need through agencies like CAFOD. As ever, the students responded with enthusiasm, and the sponsored silences were just a part of the overall fund raising efforts. Also taking place was a ‘Rich Man Poor Man’ lunch, when students bought a ticket for the chance of a full hot meal – or soup and a roll if they were unlucky in the draw. The meal drew attention to the inequality in the world, when some have more than enough and others starve. The pictures show the students during the meal, both rich and poor playing their part.
