Tonight in Church, the Presidents, Izzy & Sophie, along with their Vice President, Dominica, shared all that they have achieved and their planned Summer Term Project; OLSK Bake Off, with the members of the Parish at their termly SVP Meeting. 

They were invited to the meeting by Mike Weaver, who leads the SVP in Church, to share their ideas. The girls prepared a speech to read at the meeting, to celebrate all that they have achieved so far. The children in school are really committed to their Vocation; Turning Concern Into Action; and have pledged to raise enough money to buy gifts for the children at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. 

Mrs Finnegan stated; “These girls are so passionate about their Mission, and in turn, they pass this enthusiasm to all the other children in school. They are driven by the need to make a change; make a difference, and we couldn’t be any prouder of them.” Well done girls! 🙏🙂🙏

Today, the Y5 & Y6 Councillors met the Lord Mayor at Dudley Council House. Councillor Laura Taylor, who came to school to talk with the school council in March, arranged for the children to visit the Lord Mayor & sit in his official chair in the Council Chambers. The children had the opportunity to ask many questions about his official clothes and chains, he wears when he attends official event. 

Councillor Dave Tyler was officially sworn in on 18 May 2017 as the first citizen of the borough at a civic ceremony in front of a packed council chamber.

He said:

“It is a huge honour and a privilege to be Mayor of this borough and something I am proud to take on.
