Common Good & Catholic Social Justice
At Mount Carmel, Christ is at the centre of everything we do. Our Catholic social teaching develops our pupils' moral compass in focusing on the common good of all, following in the footsteps of Christ.
"Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." (Colossians 3:17)
Building the Kingdom- Oracy Event July 2024
Listen, as some of our Year 5 children speak to other children about how we promote the Common Good at Mount Carmel. They worked together to write their speeches themselves. Representatives from each of the Catholic schools in attendance also spoke about different aspects of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) at their schools. Our Year 5 children thoroughly enjoyed listening to how CST is promoted in each school.

Harvest Collection for Ealing Food Bank -
We collected a huge amount of items for Ealing Food Bank and our Prayer Leaders, School Council and parent volunteers helped transport the collection to our local food bank in Hanwell. One of our parents who works as a volunteer at the food bank said the shelves are emptying quicker than they can stock them, so our contributions were greatly appreciated.
We have kept some donations to make our own school food bank so if you know of anyone in our community who may benefit from some items, please let Miss Ponter, or any member of staff know, and we will support with the utmost discretion.
