At St. Vincent’s we seek to live out the Gospel Values through our work within CST. The strands are not only weaved throughout our RE curriculum and the focus of pupil groups such as the Mini Vinnies and the Rights Respecting Ambassadors, but they also take a central role in our project based curriculum. Each term, pupils focus on a different key theme and their outcomes at the end of the project, are examples of how CST can be lived out by our community.
