Advent
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
What a wonderful season of Advent it's been! The children have enjoyed a range of exciting activities, ranging from attending Mass and participating in the Nativity play, to taking part in festive fairs, the Santa Dash, and heartwarming kindness challenges. It's been a time of joy, reflection, and giving, and we are grateful to have shared these moments together.
Our Mini Vinnies have truly spread joy and warmth this Advent season. They entertained parishioners with their singing and jokes, and sang at residential homes, creating a beautiful intergenerational link. Their efforts have fostered connections across generations, embodying the spirit of kindness and community that Advent is all about.

IT’S OFFICIAL! St Vincent’s has broken a world record!
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
On 15 October 2024, all our children took part in a record attempt for the largest online hygiene lesson on Global Handwashing Day. The historic event united schools across the UK to teach children the importance of handwashing as one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infections and diseases.
Following checks from the adjudicators, we can now share that we have broken a world record for the largest online hygiene lesson about hand washing!
This is a fabulous achievement, and we are now able to celebrate our part in this with an official Guiness World certificate of participation, a keepsake that symbolises your family’s commitment to health and hygiene.
Alongside the certificate, explore the exclusive range of Guinness World Records merchandise, including medals, bags and Guinness World record books. These items are perfect for celebrating this fabulous world record your child has been a part of.
You have the option to celebrate your child’s success with a Certificate of Participation, which can be personalised with their name and photo and can framed at home or shared with their friends and family. To purchase, they can visit the following link Certificate of Participation. Use code KIDS8GERMS at the checkout.
Although we won’t be in the famous Guinness World Record book this year, we hope to be featured in it next year! Well done to all the children for this fantastic achievement!
