As Lent begins in our half term at St. Mary’s, may we lean into the "Rhythms of Life." For our Christian community, this is a time to "Draw Near" through spiritual habits and compassion. For our wider school family, it is a wonderful opportunity for all of us—regardless of faith—to pause and reflect on the habits that shape our lives. This Lent, we’re focusing on: Life-giving Habits: Finding rhythms that bring us energy and peace. Kind Encounters: Being truly present with one another. Active Compassion: Turning our reflections into positive action for others. Whether you are observing Lent or simply joining in a season of mindfulness, we invite you to find your own rhythm of reflection and renewal. #StMarysSchool #Lent2026 #RhythmsOfLife #DrawNear #MindfulHabits Community Reflection Compassion
