Year 12 Student Representative Council (SRC) had the privilege of attending the Lifted Live conference focused on empowering the youth of today through leadership initiatives and youth ministry.
The clear focus was the importance of having a voice; the power of our youth to reach out through dialogue and song and that there is always hope ‘light in christ’ even through desperation.

On Wednesday 5 March, we celebrated Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent and the launch of Project Compassion for 2025. 🙏 Lent prepares us for the season of Easter, the most important time in the Church’s calendar. By praying, fasting and giving alms, we are reminded of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Jesus brought the promise of hope to all people so that we may “Have life and have it to the full.” (John 10:10) As we live into that fullness, may we also be challenged to act with love and hope, now and for all future generations.
