Holy Week Events
On Wednesday, each class gathered in St Kevin’s Church for a deeply prayerful experience, journeying through the Stations of the Cross. Guided by reflective prayers, students engaged with the story of Jesus’ final journey, stopping at each station to recall significant moments of His suffering and sacrifice. Students, along with their teacher, participated in readings and prayers, fostering a shared sense of community and spiritual connection. As they moved from station to station, the reverent atmosphere allowed students to connect with the emotions of the Easter story—compassion, courage, and love. At the end, the students engaged in an active prayer station titled ‘At the Foot of the Cross’, where they could draw or write a prayer or write a person’s name whom they wanted to pray for, before leaving the church. This shared experience became a reminder of the values that Jesus' journey teaches us, leaving a lasting impression on both the hearts and minds of our students.
In the afternoon, our Year 6 students amazed us with their Holy Week observance, The Red Cloth. It was a heartfelt performance about the final days of Jesus' life, beautifully told through their acting and creativity.
The students brought the story to life, from Palm Sunday to Jesus’ Crucifixion. Every student played their part with care and confidence, whether they were portraying disciples, Pontius Pilate, or Jesus himself. The red cloth, featured throughout the observance, was a symbol of love, sacrifice, and hope—it added a special touch to the storytelling, reminding us about compassion, forgiveness, and love Jesus had for all people. I’m so proud of our Year 6 students for their hard work and the unforgettable experience they created.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and enjoyable Easter break and I look forward to us coming together as a whole school community in worship after the break.
