Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me

Yesterday we observed Shrove Tuesday and planned to have our Ash Wednesday service this morning with students. Unfortunately our Ash Wednesday service was cancelled following advice from the NZ Bishops due to the COVID-19 Level 2 restrictions.

During RE classes today students prayed and reflected on Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent.

Message from Pope Francis - Lent: a time for renewing Faith, Hope and Love

'Dear brothers and sisters, every moment of our lives is a time for believing, hoping and loving. The call to experience Lent as a journey of conversion, prayer and sharing of our goods, helps us – as communities and as individuals – to revive the faith that comes from the living Christ, the hope inspired by the breath of the Holy Spirit and the love flowing from the merciful heart of the Father.'

Thank you to Miss Wheeler for the photos of the traditional pancake race held on Shrove Tuesday.
