The children at the Rosary paid £1 to come to school in their ‘home clothes’ and raised a total of £377.00 for the charity.

To highlight her work and that of the charity, Dr Hussain presented a whole school assembly, conducted a parents’ workshop and visited each of the classes from Reception up to Year 6.

The children spoke about their roles as global citizens and the importance of helping children less fortunate than themselves.

St Mary’s Educational and Charitable Trust.

A Brighter Today for a Brighter Tomorrow

St Mary’s Educational and Charitable Trust was formed by a priest in the Archdiocese of Birmingham: Fr Dominic.

Fr Dominic has raised lots of money to help develop St Mary’s Catholic School in Andhra Pradesh. The school was built in 2007 and 800 children aged 4-15 now attend.

To help develop the children’s learning at St Mary’s, the children at The Rosary came to school in bright clothes to help raise money for an overhead projector. The projector would allow the children access to the internet for their lessons at St Mary’s.

The project was given the slogan, A Brighter Today for a Brighter Tomorrow, by Mr Taylor, Head Teacher at Our Lady of the Wayside School in Solihull.
