Our GIFT Team - Growing in Faith Together

Our GIFT team have a very important job to spread the Word of God throughout our school and the school community.

It is our mission to interpret scripture so that children can better understand stories from the Bible and relate them to their own lives.

You may see us around school leading prayer and worship, partaking in meditation and discussing current issues involving people around the world.

Our GIFT team regularly lead whole school worship

Our GIFT team meet up with other GIFT Teams from local schools, working together for the common good.
