Voluntary Service

The school is keen to encourage students to involve themselves with its Voluntary Service programme, reinforcing the message that service to others is also of benefit to those who serve. Many students give their free time to help others, both within the school community and beyond. Some students provide assistance for staff and younger children in the Nursery School and the Junior Department. Others help to maintain the Peace Garden, sort and distribute items for the Mother Teresa charity, help with the HCPT pilgrimage to Lourdes, help younger students through a St. Vincent de Paul group or coach sport to other students. Voluntary service also takes place outside the school whenever possible. For example, each week a group of Sixth Form students visits Syston Community Centre to help local adults with learning difficulties.
