Prep II and Prep III Mass

Posted: 25th September 2020

The Good Shepherd.

Prep II and Prep III produced a wonderful display of sheep in the Chapter Room this week!  This was in preparation for their Celebratory Mass on 23rd September to begin the school year.  This was on the theme of ‘The Good Shepherd’, and Miss Keane, Deputy Head Juniors (Academic), had this to say:

‘We come together today to our Celebratory Mass to begin our school year. We pray as a community for each other and for the whole school family. We ask God to give us hope as we look forward to our learning, friendships, sport, music, clubs and everything that is part of our school life.  Give us courage to walk together with friends who are already familiar to us and with new friends who have joined us. May we come to know and love God more each day as we grow and learn together.’

The Mass was celebrated for us by Fr Thomas and Prep II and Prep III joined in beautifully with the prayers all through the Mass.

As Jesus said. ‘I am the good shepherd, says the Lord. I know my own sheep and my own know me.’

Prep II and Prep III have written their names on the lambs displayed in the Chapter Room and have also beautifully decorated them.

Strengthening Our Community: The Return of Boys to our Preps and Pre-Preps

We are excited to share that, from September 2026, boys will begin moving up from our Nursery into Reception, marking the gradual reintroduction of boys into our Prep and Pre-Prep School.

This step reflects growing interest from families who value our strong holistic ethos and unique grounds and setting and would like their sons and daughters to share their educational journey together.

At St Augustine’s, our strong sense of community, academic excellence, and deep care for each individual child remain at the heart of everything we do. This is a natural evolution of our school rather than a change to who we are, building on our strengths and allowing us to offer the same joyful, inspiring education to even more children.
