Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Welcome to the official blog created by students to chronicle their experiences during Enrichment Weeks.

On these pages you’ll find personal accounts from our students discussing the wide range of activities they enjoyed both in college and off site.

Visits included residential trips to Iceland with the Geography department, France with the History department and Barcelona with the Maths department. Year 10 and 11 students will visited New York with the Business Studies teachers, while English staff and students explored creative writing skills in locations as diverse as Florida and Yorkshire, where students worked alongside a poet, a novelist and a playwright to set their imaginations on fire.

Back at College, students will take part in retreats to explore and deepen their faith. They will hear from inspirational speakers, attended careers workshops and take part in a host of music, dance and drama activities.

Our College Principal, Wendy White, said, “Enrichment Week is a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their horizons and learn outside the classroom. It is experiences like these which testify to the diverse, exciting and challenging curriculum at Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College, and how we focus on the development of the whole child.”

Daily updates from home and abroad will allow students to record and share their memorable learning experiences with family and friends.

We hope that you enjoy reading about our experiences on these pages as much as we have enjoyed putting them together.

Look out for the next instalment of the blog following Enrichment Week in July 2015….

MFL - Paris

Can we kick it? Yes we can!

Bonjour from Paris! Walking in the footsteps of Zidane and Ronaldinho, Usain Bolt and many an international rugby player...not to mention the musical greats such as Celine Dion and One Direction, today Saints Peter and Paul visited the infamous 'Stade de France' in Saint Denis! With a seating capacity of 80,000 and hosting a variety of concerts and international sporting events including the 1998 World Cup, pupils got to tour around the stadium, eventually running out on to the pitch to music and applause! Not forgetting the simple pleasure of having a kick about with their football souvenirs. Even Mr Ashton showed off his football prowess...well sort of!

Follow us on Twitter @stspnp_mfl to see more photos and updates on our Parisian adventure!

Tomorrow...Disneyland!
