St Richards Catholic College

Recently several children visited France in an exchange with their French pals.  It was very successful all-round.  The French children have exchanged over here for the last 3 years under the supervision of Emily, Annette’s daughter, who lives and teaches in France.  It was so successful that the exchange visit will be an annual event.  Well done all.
 

Harvest Festival

A beautiful array of produce was displayed around the altar with a  special theme of “Water”, and how we cannot live without it. All the items were carried after mass by our children with the help of some grown ups to the tables outside and sold.  This was a huge success and all proceeds went to CAFOD.
