CARITAS Catholic Schools Conference

A very big well done to Emilia and Louis in Year 5, who represented OLSJ at the very first CARITAS Catholic Schools Conference! The conference took place on line, and Catholic schools from all over Hampshire and Dorset attended, including our sister school Holy Family.

Emilia and Louis wrote and delivered their own presentation to show the Eco journey that OLSJ have been on over the last three years. They created the powerpoint and script themselves - isn't it fantastic?

They joined other schools in break out rooms and listened to their ideas and actions that they had taken in their settings, to look after their environment. It was great to share good practice between the schools and for our pupils to speak to other pupils about their shared love for the environment and God's creation.

Emilia and Louis are our Year 5 Eco Leaders and will take over the Eco Council as our School Eco Chairs in Year 6. In a few weeks time they will be representing OLSJ in person at a Hampshire Conference with other schools, so this event has served as good practice! We are very proud of their professionalism and confidence in presenting today - even though they went first, they were not nervous at all! Well done!
