Chaplaincy
We encourage all pupils, including those who are not Catholic, to be proud of their own religious identity and beliefs and have a strong sense of personal worth. Through every day interactions they will recognise the validity of these feelings in others even when they do not share their convictions.
Pupils will be taught to treasure the outward signs of the school’s Catholic identity – they will value our environment.
Pupils understand the importance and celebrate key celebrations in school throughout the liturgical year and in the parish community and have involvement with parish and diocesan activities and celebrations.
At the heart of our school is our chaplaincy team.
Chaplains play a central role in supporting all members of the school community in their faith life. The chaplain, or member of staff in charge of assisting the chaplaincy teams, will regularly meet the students to plan Masses, share liturgies, write prayers and carry out charity work. Further to these activities, their role is to share their knowledge and expertise with others in school so all can join in with this central and defining characteristic of our Trust. Ultimately, their role is to support staff and students with the Catholic Life and Collective Worship of the school.
Chaplaincy Team
At Holy Rosary, we are privileged to have a strong, dedicated and creative chaplaincy team who go above and beyond to support and enrich the Catholic life of our school. Our chaplains are role models of faith, demonstrating kindness, leadership and a commitment to living out Gospel values in their daily lives.
At the beginning of their chaplaincy journey, each pupil is invited to apply to become a school chaplain. As part of this process, they complete a chaplaincy application where they share their unique skills, gifts and the qualities they feel they can bring to the team. Following this, pupils take part in an interview process where they reflect on their own faith journey and explain how they hope to support others in growing closer to God. This ensures that our chaplaincy team is made up of pupils who are enthusiastic, thoughtful and committed to serving others.
