Catholic Schools Week
Students of Rockford Manor celebrated Catholic Schools Week (1st – 5th February 2016).
The theme for this year was “Mercy”. Students were challenged to think of ways individuals, schools and communities can show mercy to others. First year students designed posters to highlight the struggle of refugees. Students learned that at present there has been the biggest displacement of people since World War II and that mercy should be at the forefront of dealing with this terrible crisis.
