Assemblies

Weekly assemblies bring the All Saints family together in prayer and celebration of being One in Christ. Assembly themes of the week reflect the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church and keeps Christ at the centre of our school community.

Every student participates in a Year Group Assembly or House Assembly once a week at All Saints. This provides all pupils with a time set apart specifically to engage in spiritual formation, deepening their understanding of Catholic teachings, values, and traditions, contributing to their personal development and spiritual growth. 

Assemblies provide moral and ethical guidance rooted in teachings of Christ, emphasising the cardinal and theological virtues. Assemblies align with the liturgical calendar and draw on themes from the Sunday Mass readings promoting the culture of full and active participation called for in the Second Vatican Council (Sacrosanctum Concilium 14).
