Message from our Chaplain Mairie
My thanks and prayers for all your support over this first term especially your generosity for the Foodbank and local parish families. We have also sent cards to people supported by the local Snow Angels Charity and coats to people in need. It is wonderful to see the signs of a community growing and learning together and helping others in the community, both near and far.Here is a reflection by Pope Francis from one of his Advent homilies –
The Lord comes; we know that over and above every favourable or adverse event, the Lord does not leave us on our own. he came 2,000 years ago and he will come again at the end of time, but he also comes today into my life and into yours. Yes, this life of ours, with all its problems, anxiety and uncertainty, is visited by the Lord. This is the source of our joy: the Lord has never tired and will never tire of us, he wants to come, he wants to visit us. Let us welcome him.
A Blessing for Christmas
The light of the Christmas star to you,
The warmth of home and hearth to you,
The cheer and good will of friends to you,
The hope of a childlike heart to you,
The joy of a thousand angels to you,
The love of the Son,
And God’s peace to you.
Amen
On Wednesday, we celebrated our Advent Mass where we once again came together as a school to remember, sing and reflect.
Thank you to Fr Peter and Fr Paul for their words of wisdom, to Mrs McKenna and the talented musicians for their moving rendition of Silent Night and to the staff and site team for setting up and facilitating. Our students were amazing – thank you for listening and responding so well and to all our readers who performed loudly and clearly.
Thank you to everyone who came to our Christmas Concert last night.
Well done to our amazing Choir who performed at Tatton Park on Friday night alongside the the Northern Chamber Orchestra.

The award was presented by Cllr Graham Emmett and acknowledges the outstanding provision of school curricular and co-curricular sport for students at St Nicholas Catholic High School. We are proud to announce that as a school we are still in the top 1% of schools nationally to hold the Platinum award.

This is the plan for Northern Trains for future strikes.
Whilst we hope that everyone is coping well with the present situation, this is a difficult time and we appreciate that there may be some families who are undergoing hardship because of changes in work or personal circumstances. The majority of Foodbank users will only access the Foodbank three times. but those three times will make a difference.
