Our Faith Teams
“I came so that you may have life, and have it to the full.”
– John 10:10
Key Stage 2 Pupils have the opportunity to serve the school as part of our Faith Team. Children are asked if they would like to apply for this important position which requires a commitment to sharing knowledge of our faith and the love of God with all the members of St. John Bosco’s family. When chosen the new members are welcomed and mentored by the current Y6 members of the team.
They are then Commissioned by Father Clement at our start of year Mass in School.
