Our traditional Halloween festivities and House games were certainly spooktacular again this year, with the Class of 2024 continuing the tradition of the Spook House and every Grade giving in their all for their Halloween skits.

The World Languages Department brought another cultural dimension by exploring the ‘Day of the Dead’ - or Dia de los Muertos - a significant cultural day in the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America. Many thanks to all those who facilitated these activities.

November is a special month within the Christian calendar, as it is a month of remembrance for those we have loved and lost. On Wednesday, 1 November, we gathered as a whole school community to celebrate a mass for the Feast of All Saints. Father Chris explained that on this day, we remember all saints, known and unknown, who have attained heaven. He also reminded us that these saints were ordinary people who lived good and holy lives. He encouraged us all to live our lives seeking daily to be kind, compassionate and to be the light of God to others in this world.
