Second Week of Advent

12th December 2023Rhiannon Watts-Robinson

This week we lit the second candle on our advent wreath

In the Catholic liturgical calendar, the second week of Advent is a period of joyful anticipation and preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Each of the four weeks leading up to Christmas represents a different theme, and the second week is often associated with peace. We focus on the biblical messages of prophets like Isaiah, who foretold the coming of the Prince of Peace.

During this week, we engage in prayer, reflection, and acts of kindness to cultivate inner peace and share it with others. The lighting of the second Advent candle, often symbolising peace, serves as a visual reminder of the spiritual journey towards the arrival of the Savior.

As we embark on this season of Advent, we are encouraged to cultivate a sense of calmness and tranquility in our hearts, aligning our lives with the message of hope and peace brought by the Christ Child.

As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight the paths for him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all people will see God’s salvation.'” – Luke 3:4-6

Maths Talk with Dr Laura Rebollo-Neira

11th December 2023Rhiannon Watts-Robinson

What a wonderful experience our Year 11 pupil had on Friday with a lecture from Dr Laura Rebollo-Neira (Aston University).

The students got the opportunity to learn about the uses of mathematics, in particular how this shapes future technology innovations, as well as the wide range of degrees available to them at university.

Students were shown how mathematical proofs are built on assumptions and previously known facts. Research was shared with students about how maths is used to develop ideas (such as looking at how to move from MP3 to MP4 sound compression).

Dr Rebollo-Neira ended the presentation with details on job opportunities, labour market and wages in certain sectors connected to Mathematics, such as data analysts.

An aspirational, interactive and informative lesson delivered by a highly experienced doctor of mathematics.

Well Done Dodgeball Team!

11th December 2023Rhiannon Watts-Robinson

Last Thursday, a mixed team of Year 7 and 8 students took part in a dodgeball tournament at Highfields School.

There were 3 divisions and we came runners up after playing four teams (Moreton, Heath Park, Moseley Park and Colton Hills). The final games were the 3 division winners and the best runner up. Unfortunately we missed out on a final place to Colton Hills who scored the same points but won more games overall.

The team showed great sportsmanship and represented the academy fantastically! Well done everyone!

Team pictured: Leja L, Daisy W, Sophie G, Kornelia K, Kyela-Shae M, Imogen O and two other students

Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

8th December 2023Rhiannon Watts-Robinson

The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a profound and cherished dogma that underscores Mary’s unique and singular role in salvation history.

This teaching asserts that, by a special grace from God, Mary was conceived without the stain of original sin, preserving her purity and holiness. This immaculate state allowed her the honour to bear Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into the world.

The Catholic Church holds that this extraordinary privilege was granted to Mary due to her future role as the Mother of God. The doctrine, solemnly defined in 1854 by Pope Pius IX, reflects the deep veneration and honor accorded to Mary within Catholic theology, emphasizing her exceptional holiness and cooperation with divine grace in the plan of redemption.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is a joyous celebration in the Catholic liturgical calendar, marking Mary’s conception as a moment of grace and sanctity in the unfolding story of salvation.

Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! The LORD has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm. – Zephaniah 3:14-16

Senior Citizens Party 2023!

6th December 2023Rhiannon Watts-Robinson

On Tuesday 5th December 2023, we held our annual Senior Citizen Party.

Around 100 members of our community were invited to join us for a fun filled afternoon of celebrations. This community event is run by Mrs Hogg and St Edmund’s Catholic Academy Sixth Form students and is looked forward to each year.

Members of the community were welcomed into school and spent the afternoon with Year 13 students, playing bingo and reindeer hoopla, eating and being served party food by Year 12, listening to a performance from St Edmund’s Faith Band and we even had a visit from Wolfie and Santa!

Lower School Prefects also ran a project for Year 7 to write prayer cards which were included in the gift bags.

Thank you so much to our sponsors: Homesmart Blinds, Repose Furniture and The School Psychology Service. Your generous donations were greatly appreciated.

Alongside our sponsors, we had a donation of Christmas crackers and fundraising from B&M Bentley Bridge staff, raffle prizes donated by St Edmund’s staff, cakes made by Samantha Deakin, and cakes and sausage rolls made by Ros Haines.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the running of this annual event.
