On Thursday 17th March, the St Ralph Sherwin CMAT were fortunate to have Sr Judith back to offer training to more of our year 5 chaplaincy teams.
This time it was the turn of our primary academies in the north of our Trust who had the opportunity to spend a day with Sr Judith.
The training day was held on a beautiful sunny day in the parish hall of St Mary’s New Mills.
We had year 5 group’s from St Charles’ Hadfield, St Mary’s Glossop, St Mary’s New Mills, St Mary’s Marplebridge, St Anne’s Buxton, St Joseph’s Matlock and the Federation of All Saints and St Margaret’s.
The aim of the day was to give the teams a more central role in the development of Catholic Life and Collective Worship in their academies.
The development plan they created during the day was then taken back to their Headteachers to discuss and put into action.
The day finished with a lovely commissioning ceremony led by Fr Bill from Marple, where all students received a letter of commission to take home with them.
It was a brilliant day where students and staff alike were inspired and motivated by Sr Judith’s infectious knowledge, charm and smile.
