Advent Giving in Action at All Saints Catholic College

This Advent, our students have shown incredible thoughtfulness and generosity through the school’s Advent Charity Appeal. Planning ahead to ensure their efforts were organised and meaningful, every year group took responsibility for supporting a different cause, reflecting the values of service, compassion, and community that are at the heart of All Saints Day.

Years 7 & 8 supported the Samaritan’s Purse Shoebox Appeal, collecting items to bring joy to children in need around the world.

Year 9 raised funds for Mary’s Meals, helping to provide nutritious meals for children in some of the world’s poorest communities, ensuring they can learn and grow.

Year 10 collected supplies for the Missionaries of Charity food bank, supporting local families and individuals in need and reflecting St Mother Teresa’s commitment to serving the vulnerable.

Year 11 generously donated raffle prizes for the annual elderly Christmas dinner, helping to create a joyful and memorable event for our local senior citizens.

Thanks to the hard work, dedication, and organisation of our students, Mr Sunny and Mr Willis this year’s Advent giving was carried out smoothly and effectively. Pupils not only contributed resources, but also gave their time and effort to ensure the activities ran successfully, demonstrating true leadership and care for others.

Through these acts of service, our students embodied the very essence of the season — generosity, kindness, and community spirit. Their contributions made a real difference to both local and global communities and exemplify the values we seek to nurture at All Saints Catholic College.

We are incredibly proud of every student who participated - a huge thank you to them and also their parents and carers to making Advent meaningful, both in thought and action.
