The visit brought our whole school community together to explore how faith in action can help create a fairer and kinder world. --- ### A Thought‑Provoking Whole‑School Assembly The afternoon began with a special assembly led by CAFOD, where children learned about global justice, compassion and the real‑life stories of people whose lives have been transformed through charitable action. The message was clear: even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. --- ### Interactive Workshops Across the School Throughout the afternoon, CAFOD visited classrooms to deliver engaging workshops for **Year 2**, **Nursery**, **Reception** and **Year 5**. Pupils explored: - How communities around the world support one another - Ways we can care for our planet and each other - The importance of hope, fairness and empathy - How simple everyday actions can help build a better future The children listened beautifully, asked thoughtful questions and demonstrated the caring spirit that makes St Patrick’s such a special place. --- ### A Heartfelt Thank You to CAFOD We are incredibly grateful to CAFOD for spending the afternoon with us and helping our pupils understand how **faith, kindness and action can change lives**. Their visit encouraged our children to think deeply, act compassionately and recognise the power they have to make a positive impact. --- ### Growing Together as One School Family Days like this remind us of the strength we have when we learn, grow and support one another as one family of faith. We look forward to continuing our mission to live out kindness and compassion in all we do. ![CAFOD visit at St Patrick's Catholic Academy](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/images/647426798_122205125564569418_4606854143329037104_n.jpg)![CAFOD visit at St Patrick's Catholic Academy](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/images/648306836_122205125288569418_5739702783344685762_n.jpg) [Catholic Life](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/tag/catholic-life) [ World Book Day at Our School](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-06-world-book-day-at-our-school) [A Morning of Music and Confidence: Rock Steady Concert Day ](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-23-a-morning-of-music-and-confidence-rock-steady-concert-day) ![St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School Lingfield Road Fairfield Stockton-on-Tees TS19 7PL 01642 580850 01642 570697 - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stpatricksrcprimaryfairfield) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stpatricksfairfield/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
