• Jubilee 2025: Pilgrims of Hope Launch Day

  Mon 27 Jan 2025

  Today, we celebrated the launch of Jubilee 2025: Pilgrims of Hope! Through reflection, we learned about what it means to be pilgrims of hope and how Pope Francis encourages us to live out this calling. From embracing kindness to caring for others and our world, we explored how we can bring hope to those around us during this special jubilee year.  This week, students will be writing their personal pledges to live as pilgrims of hope, taking small but meaningful steps to spread positivity and make a difference in our school, our community, and beyond. It’s a wonderful opportunity for all of us to unite in hope and action!
