Ash Wednesday

St John's School recently marked the beginning of Lent with a series of meaningful events. The celebrations began with Shrove Tuesday, where students enjoyed traditional pancakes, symbolizing the last indulgence before the Lenten fast. The fundraiser raised over $700 for Project Compassion, which supports people living in poverty.

The following day, the school community gathered for a solemn Ash Wednesday Liturgy. During the service, led by Fr Tom Duncan,  students and staff received ashes on their foreheads, an ancient Christian ritual, as  a reminder of repentance and renewal in their lives. These events provided a profound opportunity for reflection and spiritual growth, setting a thoughtful tone for the Lenten season ahead.
