Runnymede Sports
Our children have enjoyed participating in a wide range of sporting activities this term such as football, bowling, cross-country, and indoor athletics. Excellent teamwork, determination and effort has been displayed by all those involved, and we are very proud of their drive to be the best they can be!
Edmund Rice Global Classroom Partners
We were lucky to be partnered with a fellow Edmund Rice school in Dublin, Ireland. Our Year Six Edmund Rice Ambassadors have met with their linked school and exchanged information about our similarities and differences. We have selected the topic, “Caring For Our Common Home” and look forward to sharing our work around this important topic on our next Zoom!
Building Expansion
In July, our much-anticipated building expansion commenced. This is a five-year project and will see our school be transformed as new learning areas, classrooms, Dining Hall, kitchen, pupil toilets, and meeting rooms are built. Our staff, pupils and Runnymede family are delighted with the progress thus far.

O God, we thank you for the life of Edmund Rice.
He opened his heart to Christ present in those oppressed by poverty and injustice.
May we follow his example of faith and generosity.
Grant us the courage and compassion of Edmund as we seek to live lives of love and service.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
