GIFT Team
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 Mrs Nolan & Mrs White. They meet weekly 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.
Supporting the local community
Following our Harvest Mass, the GIFT team took our school donations to the Storehouse at New Life Church.

Mary Our Mother
The GIFT team ran a competition for all classes to complete a Mary drawing or painting for display. The winners from each class were displayed on the GIFT team wall, and as there were so many excellent entries, we updated our hall display with the Mary images.

This week the GIFT team have been spreading messages of joy to staff at Saint Mary's. We have handed out cards with positive notes to staff across the school. We hope this has made others feel happy and joyful in our final week of school.
