Every Thursday we’ll shine a spotlight on the amazing ways our schools live out our shared values. From hope, to courage, to innovation, our schools are putting faith into action in truly inspiring ways! We are continually guided by James 2:26: “Faith without works is dead.”

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, a reminder that God’s light leads us to Him. Just as the Magi followed the star to find Jesus, we are called to let faith guide our journey. May we always notice the signs that point us toward love, hope, and joy.

As we journey through the Jubilee Year of Hope, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that Advent isn’t a time of passive waiting but an active hope, inviting us to participate in God’s mission, to recognise Christ in the everyday, and to bring hope alive through our actions.
