Liturgy of the Word

Posted: 9th June 2022

Seniors celebrate in the Chapel.

On the morning of Wednesday 8th June, Form III to Upper IV held a Liturgy of the Word in the Chapel.  Form IIIA had prepared this beautiful liturgy and it was a time to gather together and listen to the Word of God.  Form III pupils read and delivered the Prayers of the Faithful extremely well and, following the readings, Mrs Raffray gave a reflection on the Feast of Pentecost, which was on 5th June.  Pentecost celebrates the event when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, Mary and the earliest followers of Jesus.

 

Pentecost is therefore a time of meeting together, unity and celebrating the Holy Spirit and the gifts He brings.  Mrs Raffray also spoke about how one of the main messages that Jesus brings is, ‘Do not be afraid’.  It was a message that He gave to His followers and a message that He gives to us now.  We are the Easter People.

Mrs Raffray stressed the importance of taking the time to be with God.  Taking time for prayer and reflection gives the Holy Spirit the chance to be with us and to speak to us.

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.
