Prayer Prefects
We introduced Prayer Prefects in 2015, to give the children greater responsibility and ownership of their RE learning and the school environment. Each year, two prayer prefects are chosen from each class and are commissioned in a special liturgy.
Our Prayer Prefects have been very busy so far this year!
Their role includes giving advice to children and staff on their prayer focus areas. For example, they help to ensure the correct liturgical colours are being used, check that any artefacts are appropriate for the liturgical season or topic and help keep the areas tidy and fresh. The Prayer Prefects are also responsible for setting up and clearing away, the prayer focuses for phase and whole school Celebration of the Word. Prayer Prefects from each year group process with the Bible and candles - showing the importance of the Bible and God’s Word. During Celebrations of the Word, they are often invited to read the scripture and give responses to the Word.
Year 5 and 6 Prayer Prefects support Fr Ian in preparing for school Masses and Reconciliation services.
