Principal's message

Dear Lord,

As we journey through this season of Lent, help us to embrace the practices of fasting, praying, and almsgiving with open hearts. May our fasting remind us of our dependence on You and the sacrifices of Jesus. Guide us in our prayers, that we may grow closer to You and seek Your will in all things. Inspire us to give generously to those in need, reflecting Your love and compassion.

Grant us the strength to persevere in our Lenten commitments, to be kind, patient, and loving to everyone we meet. 

Amen.  

Over the next few weeks until the end of term our student leaders and Social Justice leaders will be organising some awareness raising and fundraising activities for Caritas.  Please see the note later in the school newsletter. 

These events help us to participate in the holy practices of almsgiving, fasting and prayer.
