Our St Paul's Junior Mentor Girls project took to trip to the Manchester Climbing Centre to tackle the walls there. Brows were sheened with perspiration as everyone put in a great effort. Great fun was had by all as they tackled the imposing precipices.
The trip was a great opportunity for the young people to exercise some of the character values we have been emphasizing throughout the year, top most among them staying power. The walls can get quite tough and you have to push yourself at times. The girls all did really well and supported each other throughout.

We all piled into the Our Lady’s mini bus and drove into
Manchester city centre to eat our own bodyweight at Tai Wu Chinese buffet, and
have a look around the Christmas Market. The mentors
met us at the restaurant where everyone promptly loaded their plates with piles of food. Some of us tapped out after a couple of plates, but there
were some impressive performances of four or more plates plus desert afterwards!

Our Lady's Year 8 Academy have been working towards a Christmas play for the last few weeks. Last Thursday was their big opportunity to impress parents and teachers with their self penned playscript.
It was great to see all of the young people working towards a goal, and taking a proactive role in organizing the play and the script. The play was a huge success, and the parents were very impressed!

Other trips included bowling at Parrswood and ice skating at Heaton Park. After such a great term we are all excited to see what next term holds. Merry Christmas everyone!
