Justice & Service at St Mary's

Tomorrow, our Year 5 students will participate in a Leadership and Social Justice Retreat.

They will take part in the following activities to prepare them for leadership in Year 6:

• Spiritual Reflection Mindfulness and Meditation
• Leadership skills and qualities and what it takes to be a good leader
• Team Building Games and Challenges
• Time Management Techniques (homework, play, sport, reading and sleep)

 They will also take part in an online Social Justice Session with other children from around our Archdiocese run by the St Vincent de Paul Society. During this session they will explore Radical Respect and what it looks like (including respect for ourselves, respect for our school community, respect our wider community and respect for our world).
