Last Thursday the school celebrated the Easter story by reflecting upon the Stations of the Cross or Way of the Cross; the journey that Christ took between praying in the garden after dining with His disciples, all the way through to the resurrection from the tomb. The grade 9’s have been, for some time, the group who present this to the school, and with the grade 4’s to 12’s in attendance, this was always going to be a challenging ask; but the students beautifully, subtly and yet very inspirationally took us all on this journey. Thanks to those grade 9’s who took so much time and effort preparing for this service and for all the family members who supported this journey. A big thanks also to the choir for their contribution in creating the desired environment.

Amongst the multitude of messages that should be recalled at Easter is a very simple one, one that I reminded the girls of: At the very centre of the mission that Jesus undertook is the notion that He began to change to world, for the better. He preached of love and peace as being the primary needs of all people. I pray that as you continue to reflect on your own spiritual journey, whatever stage you are at, that you seriously consider what you value most, and what you show to others. As always, if I can assist you in finding new ways to be an example of love and peace, then I will do so gladly.

With thanks and prayer in this time of love, peace and resurrection, Ian Dredge.
