This month, we were blessed to begin lunchtime Adoration and Confession for staff and students. This new initiative offers everyone in our school community the opportunity to pause during a busy day, spend quiet time with Jesus in the church, and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
...Taking place on the first Thursday of every month, these moments of prayer and reflection help us to centre our hearts on Christ and deepen our sense of peace and gratitude. It is wonderful to see students taking time to pray, reflect, and grow in faith together.
One student shared, āItās lovely that we have the opportunity in the day to go to church and have some peaceful time with God. I really appreciate it.ā ~ Sanviani, Year 11
We are so thankful to everyone who made this possible and look forward to continuing this special time of prayer each month.

It was wonderful to join other schools from across our diocese at Brentwood Cathedral for the Jubilee Youth Mass, celebrated by Bishop Alan. Young people came together in faith, prayer, and joy, filling the cathedral with energy and hope.
It was inspiring to see so many students ...participating and representing their schools with pride. We were especially proud to have our very own Chaplain, Mr Chan, leading the Gospel Choir, whose music added to the beauty and spirit of the Mass. Our students also took part by reading during the liturgy, making the celebration even more special for our school community.
āI felt honoured to be able to be part of such a beautiful occasion and be selected to read, which made it even more special for meā ~ Marcin, Year 11
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in making this diocesan celebration such a memorable and faith-filled experience for our young people.

Year 12 took their recent Enrichment session outside to West Ham Park, where they did some leaf clearing in the wildlife garden.
During their session, they uncovered two toads and some beautiful Cyclamens.
"We all really enjoyed our first Enrichment session out in the ...sunshine and helping our local community, by making the park a nicer space to enjoy and spend time."
