Today we welcomed Joseph Roberts for the final spoken word workshop ahead of next week’s New Brighton Arts Fest!
In an inspiring final session, pupils stood up in front of the group to perform their poems — building confidence, receiving tips from Joseph, and finding their voice. Every single student has grown in self-belief and expression.
Now, they’re ready to take the stage at District House on Tuesday 8th July.

Theme of the week: Know who you are. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus asks His disciples, “Who do you say I am?” Peter responds with bold faith: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 🙏 Jesus praises Peter and gives him a special mission—showing us that knowing who Jesus is helps us understand who we are.
💬 When we know we are loved by God, created with purpose, and called to something greater, we can live with confidence - just like Peter.
🪨 “Know who you are” means remembering that our identity is rooted in being children of God, each with unique gifts and a role in His plan. #KnowWhoYouAre #GospelReflection #Faith
