GIFT ‘Growing in Faith Together’ Team

Saint Mary's has a dedicated GIFT team who have a vital role to play in enhancing the Religious Life of our school. Our GIFT team are easily identified in school by their special ties. The GIFT team is led by Miss Small. They meet to plan liturgical events and ways to develop the faith life of our school.

Members of The GIFT team have a very important job to spread the Word of God throughout our school and the school community. It is their mission to interpret scripture so that children can better understand stories from the Bible and relate them to their own lives. The GIFT team help to lead prayer, prepare prayer areas, deliver collective worship and organise liturgical events.

Poppies for Remembrance

The GIFT team were responsible for selling poppies and poppy gifts the week before Remembrance Day. 

Bible Stories with Reception

The GIFT team worked with Reception to teach them about Noah's Ark.

They read the story to all the children. Afterwards, we completed a range of activities with them. We played a matching game, coloured in some pictures, acted out the story, and went on an animal hunt.

Supporting the local community

Following our Harvest Mass, the GIFT team and Mini Vinnies took our school donations to the Storehouse at New Life Church.

Mary Our Mother

Our GIFT team have been leading prayers for Mary in the month of May.
