Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Welcome to the official blog created by students to chronicle their experiences during Enrichment Weeks.

On these pages you’ll find personal accounts from our students discussing the wide range of activities they enjoyed both in college and off site.

Visits included residential trips to Iceland with the Geography department, France with the History department and Barcelona with the Maths department. Year 10 and 11 students will visited New York with the Business Studies teachers, while English staff and students explored creative writing skills in locations as diverse as Florida and Yorkshire, where students worked alongside a poet, a novelist and a playwright to set their imaginations on fire.

Back at College, students will take part in retreats to explore and deepen their faith. They will hear from inspirational speakers, attended careers workshops and take part in a host of music, dance and drama activities.

Our College Principal, Wendy White, said, “Enrichment Week is a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their horizons and learn outside the classroom. It is experiences like these which testify to the diverse, exciting and challenging curriculum at Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College, and how we focus on the development of the whole child.”

Daily updates from home and abroad will allow students to record and share their memorable learning experiences with family and friends.

We hope that you enjoy reading about our experiences on these pages as much as we have enjoyed putting them together.

Look out for the next instalment of the blog following Enrichment Week in July 2015….

Shudda, Wudda, Cudda - Y10

Shudda, Wudda, Cudda: Year 10 Quality of Life Day with LIFE Charity, Liverpool.

Today our year 10 students studied what the word ‘Quality of Life’ means, we explored the choices young women make when faced with unexpected pregnancy or especially having a child with a disability. Students reflected on the work of the UK Paralympians and why having a child born with a disability, although challenging, should not be sad. The students especially enjoyed the famous Team Hoyt story of the Father and Son, who complete triathlons together despite Rick Hoyt being severely disabled yet he lives his life to the full.

The end of the session was the highlight as our year 10’s organised clothes bags for Mums who may not be able to afford clothes for their babies or who may be in very difficult situations.
