Whilst most of the staff and students at St Edmund’s enjoyed a well-earned half term holiday, Mrs Hazeldine (Principal), Mrs Letheren (Vice Principal), Mrs Gallagher (Chair of Governors) and four sixth formers (Jessica Bradley, Abigail Caron, Caitlin Grady and Lorna Shorthouse) began a week of volunteering that they all agreed was a truly amazing experience.
The staff and students escorted a group of Birmingham pilgrims to Lourdes, France, where Our Lady appeared to Saint Bernadette in 1858. The shrine sees pilgrims from all over the world gather to celebrate their faith and devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes. Indeed, the international Mass saw 25000 Catholics, from across the globe, gathered in prayer.
Team St Edmund’s worked tirelessly with sick, disabled and elderly pilgrims, supporting them with flight travel, cleaning rooms, mopping floors, setting tables, serving lunch and escorting them around the Basilica and the town. They all became very adept at manoeuvring wheelchairs around the shops and restaurants of Lourdes, ensuring the pilgrims had plenty of opportunity to enjoy every aspect of their trip.
Mrs Hazeldine was extremely proud of the staff and students who gave so much of their time and energy to serve others, “This was a truly momentous trip for St Edmund’s. Our first pilgrimage to Lourdes was very special indeed. I was bursting with pride to see staff and students living our CARE values and our motto “To Love and Serve the Lord”. Our sixth formers carried the banner high for St. Edmund’s and for our faith community, meeting sixth formers and pilgrims from all over the Birmingham diocese.”
We look forward to next year’s trip as this is bound to be the start of a new St Edmund’s tradition.
Congratulations to Amelia Beet for her fantastic performance in a recent International Karate Competition.
Amelia gained a silver medal in the individual Kata and pairs Kata and gold medals in the individual sparring and international sparring. She has been working at international level in Karate for a few years now and is a credit to herself, her family and the Academy.
Well done Amelia.
Last Sunday four St. Edmund’s students took part in the British Schools National Floor & Vault finals, after qualifying in March.
It was a great experience for all gymnasts as they had the privilege of working with some of the very best gymnasts in the country, one who was a member of the GB squad. All our representatives performed well and were a credit to themselves and the Academy.
Corrin deserves a particular mention as she scored her first 15.00 out of a possible 16.00 for vault and Josh performed an exceptional floor routine too. These scores together, with excellent work from Brientony & Lysia, placed our team in 6th overall.
Congratulations to all involved and many thanks to Mrs Swindells for all her coaching, time and effort too.

On Monday 29th April the GSUS Bus Live, a purpose-built classroom equipped with touch screen tablet computers, was on site all week to deliver Religious Education (RE).
The GSUS Bus Live enabled students in year 7-10 and year 12 to experience an interactive RE lesson. Students were able to look at three different topics Fear, Rejection and Forgiveness through the eyes of teenagers today and situations we may face in our everyday lives.
All students thoroughly enjoyed their experience on the GSUS Bus and have said that they would recommend other schools to make the most of this resource in school.

A number of Year 10 students’ have recently visited Oxford University and Cambridge University.
On the 27th February and the 30th April respectively students spent the day looking at the building, learning about what is required to attend such a university and the courses on offer.
Both days were very informative and students’ found out a lot and it increased their knowledge about what is on offer in higher education and the benefits of getting such a qualification.
They represented the academy very well and were accompanied by Mr White on both trips, with Mrs Lowe going to Oxford and Miss Eddowes joining the group at Cambridge.
