Exploring Tectonic Plates in Geography
In Geography this week, Class 7 took part in an exciting hands-on lesson to explore how tectonic plates move and interact. Using playdough as a creative model, the pupils demonstrated what happens when tectonic plates meet. They showed how plates can push together (converge), pull apart (diverge) and slide past each other, helping them understand how these movements can lead to the formation of mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes.

Class 7 Leads a Thoughtful Reflection on the Stations of the Cross
Yesterday, Class 7 guided us through a moving and thoughtful reflection on each Station of the Cross, helping us to remember Jesus’ journey of pain, suffering, and the compassion shown by those He met along the way. Their careful retelling encouraged us all to pause, reflect, and appreciate the significance of each moment on His path.
