On Wednesday 5 March, we gathered in House groups for the Ash Wednesday liturgy, marking the first day of Lent. Students and staff respected the solemnity of the occasion, using the time for personal reflection of what the holy day meant to them, as well as the Lenten period as a whole. The distribution of ashes was respectfully observed, marking an important part of the ceremony. 

As we prepare for Easter, we acknowledge the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf, and strive to live our lives as he would have us do.
