Opening School Assembly 2026
Our chosen symbol for 2026 is the Butterfly. Pia Lawrence, one of our students and designer of the symbol, writes that the butterfly reminds us of new life and how God helps us to grow and change. The red circle shows God’s love that surrounds and protects us. Together, they teach us that faith means trusting God, staying close to him and believing he will guide us.
