5. How the Jack Petchey Scheme at St. Bernard’s links to Catholic ethos
Working hard and using our God-given talents reflect God’s glory
Reflects that we have a duty to maximise our potential
Mirrors the fact that we are made in God’s image and use what He has given us for the benefit of others
In contributing to the community we show we ‘love one another as I have loved you’
Love one another as I have loved you

6. There are also clear links to the Catholic Year of Stewardship
Stewardship is recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God.
Stewardship is returning a portion of our gifts to God. The gifts we return are our time, our talent and our treasure.
Using our God-given talents for the Common Good
Stewardship is thus transformative.
Love one another as I have loved you

7. Catholic Year of Stewardship
As in the Parable of the Talents, each of us will someday be asked by God to give an accounting of all that we have done with the gifts that have been given to us.
Stewardship is counter-cultural: society encourages us to strive for more and more, stewardship helps us recognize we already have more than enough to share.
Stewardship is discipleship. The way the scheme is run in the school encourages discipleship.
