Famous Five go to Awards
Corpus Christi former pupils enjoyed a spectacular Awards Evening with not one “Guest of Honour” presenting the Awards but five. The five Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, now based in the former Corpus Christi Presbytery, made a tremendous impact as they celebrated the awards and gave real meaning to life choices as each told their own remarkable story of how they were called to serve the Lord; first in the Bronx and now in East Leeds.
The Sisters distributed Achievement Awards and Exam Certificates to Year 11 and sporting, music and Ethos Awards to Lower and Upper School pupils. They celebrated with the school record exam results with over 75% of pupils achieving at least five top grades and over 60% of pupils achieving Grade C or above in English and in Mathematics.
12 of our former Year 11 pupils are planning to visit our link school in Issenye, Tanzania in 2013 and are busy fund raising through Notre Dame Sixth Form College to raise their fares. They will be teaching and engaging with Issenye pupils during their visit.
Four of the top achievers pictured below had between them 50 A/A* Grades: Evan Araia, Katherine Hainsworth, Levi Broderick and Hayley Kenny.
