As students gathered in the hall, they watched a short video clip about God’s Creation thus appreciating the beauty of creation.

Life is preciousThere was time to reflect on how we can discover the beauty within ourselves and how to appreciate our life. Students acknowledge the fact that the most precious thing in our life is life itself and how we spend it and manage our time is important. They shared examples of how we can provide space for others to serve and love them and by doing so we will surely live a meaningful life.

Let us all shine!
Students participated actively and shared how we can all be light to others just as Jesus is the light of our life. Loving and expecting nothing in return is what makes us shine best. May we continue to love for the sake of living our life.

They also thought and wrote about what they would give up during lent, prayed for forgiveness and wrote prayers for peace.
