On March 7th, 2020 the pupils attended a lovely ceremony for the whole school to mark Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. The assembly was presented by the children from First Class and it included drama, prayer, liturgy and song. Ashes were distributed to all the pupils who wished to receive them. Ashes come from burnt palm. Ashes help us to remember that it is important sometimes to turn away from being busy, to stop and turn towards God.

  Poem: "Turn Away"

Turn away, turn away from being too busy

Be quiet, be still and pray

Turn towards God in the wilderness

Turn, turn, day by day.
