Who doesn’t love been awarded a badge!?! St Paul said in his first letter to the Corinthians ‘Now these three remain, faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love.’ In Latin this is Fides (Faith), Spes (Hope), and Caritas (Love). We have begun to award our students who are living out these virtues in our school community with one of the badges. The Fides badges will be awarded to students who have helped faith develop, the Spes when hope is recognised and Caritas when care and loving service is undertakem. The Fides badge was recently awarded to Nathan Machado and Reanna Machado who visited St Thomas More Voluntary Academy to share Bible stories with the children on World Book Day and the Caritas badge to Anthony Whelband who baked and sold cakes himself to raise money for the Chapel Fund.
