Dear Parishioners,

I am reaching out to our parish community to see if any local businesses or parishioners would consider establishing a community link to support our students. We are looking for a sponsor to support the ‘Milk for Schools’ initiative for the coming year. A total of £1,500 would provide fresh milk for the breakfast clubs at both of our schools.

Why your support matters –

Fuel for Learning: Many of our children rely on our breakfast clubs to start their day. This funding ensures every child – especially those from our most vulnerable families – is fuelled, focused, and ready to learn.

Health & Well-being: This initiative supports our curriculum by teaching children about healthy lifestyle choices and helps them regulate before the school day begins.

Community Investment: This is a tangible way for a local business to invest directly in the health of Guernsey’s children and the business would be shared with all our parents.

If you own a business or know of an organisation that could help us reach this £1,500 goal, please contact Mary Robertshaw, Exec Head directly – Email: mary.robertshaw@education.gg

Thank you for your continued support of our Catholic schools.
