Catholic Social Teaching underpins the essence of our daily school life. 

As members of the Catholic Church, we are all called upon to preserve the dignity of all human beings, to care for creation, and to reach out to our sisters and brothers in need. 

These principles form part of Catholic Social Teaching, a body of work developed by Church leaders over the centuries.  Pope Francis emphasises that it is our duty to work together to bring about a more just and peaceful world: to put love into action. 

It is vital that our children can articulate the connection between Jesus' teaching and doing good deeds. 

The following agencies support us at St Cross in introducing the six principles of Catholic Social Teaching through our school assemblies and activities in the classroom and support from home. 

The following links will give you further information. We hope you find them useful.
