A very warm welcome to St Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Academy, thank you for choosing our school and we hope we will be able to welcome you in person very soon. All of us at St Augustine’s are very much looking forward to you joining our community.
If you have questions that you would like us to answer, or any ideas for information, please email us at transition@staugustine.sjcmat.co.uk
St Augustine’s is a welcoming community and we believe that our school is a holy place because Christ is at the heart of all we do. I hope to get to know you all in the coming year. As school Chaplain my main focus is to offer encouragement, support, friendship and a listening ear, for both students and staff.
Charity work is another key feature of Chaplaincy, where pupils realise the value of helping others. Students support and raise funds for St. Helens Foodbank, CAFOD, Woodlands Hospice and The Shoebox Appeal. Students are given the opportunity to run fundraising events for charities close to their hearts, putting the ownership of their good deed into their hands.
Students will also have the opportunity to visit the local country park for a day retreat, in order to learn about the wide variety of plant life, birds and animals that live there. We will also reflect on our responsibility as St Augustine’s faith community, to protect the valley environment for ourselves and future generations.
Our Catholic, Christian Ethos is not an easy thing to describe but it can be felt and seen throughout the school in our day-to-day interactions with each other. Experiences of happiness, sadness, joy, loss, and achievement are drawn together, given words, and reflected upon in the light of the Gospel.
St Augustine's is a good school because the teachers are great! They make lessons fun and you will make new friends.
Just remember it is OK to be nervous and older years will help you.
I am so glad you have chosen to come to St Augustine's. You will find it great fun and very enjoyable. All the teachers are nice and will take care of you.
Just be yourself and ask for help. You're going to love High School. I can't wait to meet you.
There are extra-curricular activities for you to join at lunchtime and after school. There are lots of clubs to join, such as football, netball, chess club, singing club and design technology.
