The pupils at St Joseph’s were introduced to Catholic Social Teaching through a CAFOD workshop, which took part from EYFS to Year 6.
The workshops introduce pupils to Catholic Social Teaching and helped them to understand how the principles underpins the Catholic life and mission of St Josephs.
EYFS and KS met a variety of animal characters that will helped them learn in a fun and engaging way about the different principles, and how to put them into action. Years 5 and 6 will looked at principles in greater depth and explored how they can be applied in a variety of contexts.
The Key Principles are:
Dignity
Solidarity
The common good
The option for the poor
Peace
Creation and Environment
The dignity of work and participation
