St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

Are we following in Jesus' footsteps?

Throughout his life Jesus taught us the importance of caring for those less fortunate than ourselves. One of the ways that we put our Mission Statement into action at St. Augustines is through our Covenant With the Poor. Every half term a class takes charge of raising money or donations for a charity to help those in need. Our families and friends are always so supportive that we are always overwhelmed by its success!

This term the children wanted to support other families both in our Warrington community and further afield. We received very generous donations of store cupboard staples and luxurt treat items for the St. Joseph's Family Centre Christmas Hampers.

Our children in Y6 are organising a whole school Christmas Bingo event to raise money to  purchase a CAFOD World Gift.

Please take a look at some of the work we have done over the years as a whole school to ensure that we are putting our faith into action and truly following in Jesus' footsteps...

Year 4/5 raised a whopping £442 for The Good Shepherd Appeal. This money will be spent supporting families in crisis across our local community, allowing the charity to continue their vital work of caring for, educating and protecting those who are vulnerable and at risk.

Year 2 had an overwhelming response to their appeal to raise money for the wonderful, local charity, Room at the Inn. We raised £140! This money will go a long way in supporting the homeless of Warrington with a warm bed and hot meals. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity. 

Year 2 were well and truly blown away by the generosity from our school families and community, once again, on our funky socks day. After learning about the Christmas Hamper Project that Saint Joseph's Family Centre run, the Year 2 children planned a Funky Socks Day in exchange for food items. Thank you so much for your kind donations, helping us on our Advent journey, to spread a little hope to those families in our community who need it.

Thanks to fantastic support from our families, we raised a great amount of money for Macmillan Cancer Care by holding our annual coffee morning. The children in Y4 decorated the Hall, organised a Bake Off competition and made, bought and sold a phenomenal amount of delicious cakes after learning all about the charity and how it helps those in need. Thank you to everyone who baked or bought cakes, and to everyone who found the time to come and support the children and this very worthy cause.

Following the birth of our ducklings in school Foundation stage decided to link our charity event to this.  We had fun activities on our school field.  These included hook an duck, pin the beak on the duck, name the duck, find the duck on a map, how many eggs are in the nest, crack the secret code and egg and spoon races.  All the children also enjoyed a cake and a drink.  Good fun was had by all and we raised £120.00.  Many thanks for all your kind donations that will go to 'The Mission Together' Charity.

In Year 4 we have been raising money and collecting lot's of items for Mary's Meals and The Backpack Project, who recycle all the items that are donated and send them out to children who need them in Malawi to help them get the most out of their education. 

Year 4 were delighted when they noticed how much their posters had influenced the children of St Augustine's. We received lot's of the items wanted, such as; backpacks,exercise books, pencils, crayons, children's clothes, soap and tooth brushes. 

We also had a generous donation from school of rulers and pencils, which will have a huge impact on the children in Milawi. 

Thank you so much!
