‘I’ve enjoyed making the torches, I chose a square in my design so it’s simple.’ - Albie

Mission Together Lenten campaign - Spring term 2026
Date: 16th Mar 2026 @ 2:29pm
On Friday the 27th of February, Claire Colleran visited school to share information about the work of the charity Mission Together.
Mission Together is the children’s branch of Missio – the Catholic Church’s official charity for overseas mission.
Mission Together’s aim is to support life-giving children’s projects in places of poverty and turmoil, and to support the mission of Catholic education.
Mission Together work in over 150 countries around the world, supporting children in need.
This Lent, St Basil's want to support this amazing charity and we have had a great time on our fundraising event for them.
During the afternoon on Friday 27th March, the children went outside and worked in their house teams, each linked to a continent.
They collected and delivered 'Together tickets' to different locations around the school grounds, which represented the places that Mission Together supports.
It was a lot of fun and helped us to raise money all at the same time! Thank you to everybody for supporting us!
