🏐 Kin-Ball Leadership Success! 🏅

Today, six of our Year 10 students took part in a Kin-Ball leadership qualification as they prepare to lead the sport with their Year 10 WJEC cohort. Their dedication, teamwork, and positive attitude were evident throughout the course, and they represented SMCC brilliantly. Mr Murray was extremely proud of their exemplary behaviour and the fantastic example they set for others. Well done to all involved! 👏💙 #LeadershipInAction #KinBall #SMCCProud
✨ Feast of the Immaculate Conception - Whole School Mass ✨�
Today we gathered as a whole school to celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a special moment in our year when we reflect on Mary’s YES to God and think about how we can say yes to Him in our own lives during this season of Advent.

We are delighted to be hosting the Jubilee Icon, a stained-glass image from Shrewsbury Cathedral, as part of the Pilgrims of Hope celebrations. It arrived with pupils from St Joseph’s Primary School, who joined us for Mass. 🙏 #ImmaculateConception #PilgrimsOfHope #CatholicCommunity Shrewsbury Diocese
