The Journey of Lent Begins
And just like that, we find ourselves standing at the starting line of Lent—a time of reflection, growth, and, for some, an ambitious attempt to give up chocolate (again) while secretly hoping Sundays don’t count.
Lent isn’t about just giving things up—it’s about making space for what truly matters. It’s a chance to reset, refocus, and step forward with purpose. As a school, as a community, and as individuals, it’s an opportunity to lift each other up, embrace kindness, and lean into hope.
The season reminds us of perseverance, renewal, and the power of faith—whether that’s faith in God, faith in each other, or faith in the fact that we might actually get a proper summer this year! As Philippians 4:13 reminds us, “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.” And let’s face it, we’ll need that strength—to tackle challenges, to support one another, and to keep pushing forward in a world that sometimes feels just a little too busy.
So, let’s go into Lent together. Let’s be proud of our school, our community, our kids, and our collective determination to make a difference. There is so much to celebrate, so much to be thankful for, and so much still to achieve.
This half-term, let’s show up for one another, keep the faith, and remind ourselves why this school, this community, and this shared journey really do matter. Onward, together. 💙
