  • CSI Camden

    Published 15/07/21

    Yr 12 Criminology students spent the day putting their skills and knowledge to good use in order investigate a serious crime.  They were presented with a crime scene that they had to analyse for evidence, and then they put their interviewing techniques to the test by trying to find out which, if any, of the key suspects was telling the truth.

    The students worked in teams and had to compete against each other to see of they could uncover the truth about the crime.  The day was a great success and would not have been possible without the co-operation of PC Luty, who advised on points of law and police technique, the three suspects - Miss Masud, Miss Everson and Mr Maynard, and the key eye-witness, My Harding.

    We celebrated Laudato Si' week from the 16th-24th May.   Pope Francis’ encyclical 'The Way we Care for our Common Home' was being promoted and celebrated around the world. 

    As a school community we are called to promote being a good companion to others through being  a good steward of the world and  looking at how we care for our neighbour and our local and global environment.​   In RE lessons pupils participated in promoting Laudato Si'.  As a school community we also planted a lemon tree.  The lemon tree is a symbol of hope by the early Christians.  The lemon tree gave them hope for the future and other things that lie ahead of them in life.
     
    When we planted the lemon tree, thuis ws a symbol for us to look forward to a better year ahead for each and everyone of us.

    RACIAL JUSTICE SUNDAY.   This year’s Racial Justice Sunday is more important than ever. The effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, the killing of George Floyd, and the powerful message on fraternity and equality by Pope Francis in Fratelli Tutti speak of the need to actively oppose racism and pursue racial justice with renewed vigour. The theme is ‘A Time to Act’. Racial issues and inequalities were identified nationally and internationally in 2020 generating awareness, emotion and outrage. Action is needed to further the cause of racial justice but what can we do? Read reflection on the theme. There is also a message from Bishop Paul McAleenan, the Lead Bishop for Racial Justice
