What is a GIFT Team?

GIFT means Growing in Faith Together Team. Our Y6 team have a wonderful presence at St Marie’s, they then spend each term supporting school with charitable works, prayer and liturgy, fundraising, stewardship and much more.

Pupils are entrusted with the responsibility of:

• Giving joyful witness of Christ in our school – missionary disciples.

• Providing support in the delivery of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all pupils across the curriculum.

• Peer pastoral care – building on the good practice in our school.

• Assisting with the delivery and development of the prayer life of our school -supporting assemblies, worship, class prayer times and prayer groups.

• Assisting with developing and leading retreat experiences (Advent and Lent) for pupils.

• Developing and leading social justice activities in our school.

• Developing the use of the prayer room/outdoors and sacred spaces or areas.

• Being present on parents and opening evenings to help with the welcome of all the community.

• Developing outreach work and supporting local, national and international charities.
