Community Links
At St Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School, we value the importance of developing strongs links between the school and the local community. Almost all that we do contributes toour pupils developing a sense of belonging to a community and having some responsibility for our world and its people. As children grow older, we encourage them to be more involved with the wider community by supporting local initiatives, charities and institutions. We take part in local competitions and events such as Art Exhibitions and Community Carol singing.
Supporting local charities
We work with several local charities to help and support them in their work. We run various fundraising efforts such as collecting food for ‘Hastings Food Bank’; a dedicated local charity working to helping local people in crisis. The photograph below shows the generosity of our families in our October collection and Harvest celebrations.
Over the coming year we will continue to collect food to donate it to those in need on our community.

Cafod
We work closely with CAFOD and have regular assemblies where we find out new ways we can fundraise for others.
Our CAFOD assemblies help to raise awareness of others in our world who need our help and support.
