During the liturgy, each school brought forward their ‘anchors of hope’ – ours had been decorated by Year 10 student Kiara Cummiskey.

After the celebration, Year 9 student James Cade played the organ for our group which was a real privilege. It was a day of thanksgiving for the charitable work Diocesan schools do in fundraising for charities such as CAFOD and Missio and an opportunity to focus on our shared hopes for the future.
