Read MoreFounder's Day
Published 18/11/21We began Founder’s Day this year by watching a film recorded by the FCJ sisters that was shown to all students. They then took part in a variety of activities, reflecting on COP26 and the issues it raised for our society and our planet. Lessons finished early and everyone was given a specially cooked Founder’s Day Cookie. We finished our day with the annual sponsored walk around Regent’s Park. It was wonderful autumnal day and the park looked stunning. Hopefully, we shall be able to raise much needed funds for The Passage (a London-based homeless charity) and for our school.
