PRAYER Lord our God, You made us from the dust of the earth and breathed into us the spirit of life, but we turned away from You and sinned. In this season of repentance we call out for Your mercy. Bring us back to You and to the life your Son Jesus won for us by His death on the cross, for He lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen

SPECIALISM SUCCESS The Time 2 Change Competition reached its final stage on 06 March, 2014 in a grand celebration in the Romero Centre of All Hallows Catholic College. Winning teams from ten primary schools competed in a Fair Trade Enterprise Challenge to design and build a shop for one of ten different countries which were allocated as a surprise to students when they opened their Challenge envelopes. Students had to buy resources in a foreign language and use recycled materials in their build. The standard was extremely high and judges, Pete Pealing from Peaks and Plains Housing Trust and Tom Agar of MS Events had a very difficult job on their hands in reaching a final decision. The overall winners were St. Alban’s Catholic Primary School and the runners-up were St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School. Best Journal went to St. John the Evangelist C of E Primary School. Prizes were awarded by Hannah Bristow, Year 11 student at All Hallows who became World Champion recently in an International sailing competition. Many thanks to everyone who was involved especially the Year 12 BTEC Business students who organised and ran the event. (JL)
