One Planet Food

On May 21st 2008, 27 year 7 students took part in the One Planet Food workshop, run in association with the schools Food For Life Partnership. During the day, the pupils were split into groups and researched various food related issues including investigating where our food comes from, how we could get locally sourced produce at school and how food can be seasonal and organic. They spent the morning gathering information and preparing presentations and in the afternoon presented their findings in assembly to the whole of year 7. The presentations varied from using powerpoints to role plays and were very successful. The pupils worked hard developing their knowledge and skills and worked brilliantly under pressure to finish the presentations on time. Well done to all who took part.

Year 13 Leavers Mass

Fr Paul Grogan, Vocations Director for the Diocese of Leeds, celebrated the Yr13 Leavers Mass this year. In his homily, he spoke of every one searching for the right path to follow in their lives, guided by the principles they had learned at St Wilfrid’s (he hoped that some might consider a religious vocation as their future path !). Fr Paul is also chaplain at Trinity & All Saints College in Leeds.
The picture shows the readers in the mass. Names of the students are (l-r in order) : Michael Cahill, Stacey Hickling, Nick Brown, Amie Senkiw, and Oliver Hill.
