Today our staff gathered for a Formation Day focused on exploring Scripture and deepening our understanding of how God’s Word speaks into both its original context and our lives today. Through prayer and professional dialogue, we reflected on Scripture as a living text—one that invites careful attention to its meaning, the tradition that shapes it, and the way it continues to speak in new and relevant ways to our school community. It was a valuable opportunity to learn together and strengthen how we bring Scripture to life for our students in meaningful and accessible ways.

On the solemnity of Good Friday, our students reverently dramatised the Stations of the Cross, recalling the passion of Jesus Christ. “Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46) May this sacred moment draw us into deeper reflection on Christ’s sacrifice and enduring love, with hope in the promise of the Resurrection to come. ✝️🙏

Today, we remember the ultimate sacrifice of our Lord, Jesus Christ, on the Cross. Through His suffering and death, He showed us the depth of God’s love and mercy for all humanity. 🌿✝️ For Catholics around the world, Good Friday is a solemn moment of reflection—a time to pause, to pray, and to unite in gratitude for the gift of salvation. Jesus bore our sins and opened the way for eternal life, fulfilling the Scriptures and God’s promise of redemption. As we contemplate His passion, may we also be inspired to live with compassion, forgiveness, and love for one another. Let us carry this hope into our daily lives, remembering that through His death comes life. “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46) May your hearts be touched by His sacrifice today. ❤️

Today we remember Holy Thursday, the night of the Last Supper and the beginning of Jesus’ journey to the cross. We recall the gift of the Eucharist, where Jesus shared bread and wine and called us to love and serve one another. Jesus then went to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. In deep anguish, He turned to the Father, surrendering to His will as His hour drew near, fulfilling the Scriptures. May we take time today to pause, pray, and stay close to Him. 🙏✨
