Our children say morning, lunchtime, afternoon and home time prayers every day. The RE curriculum allows regularly opportunities for the children to pray around a class focal point and to reflect on key religious themes. Class liturgical prayers are performed regularly and parents are invited into school to share these prayerful experiences with the children. Children also plan and lead prayers during class Masses and whole school masses, as per planner.
