Stations of the Cross

A huge thanks to the students, teachers, and Challenge 2000 for the stunning artwork for the Stations of the Cross. They really are spectacular and have given students a sense of ownership and increased participation. Praying the Stations has also been a beautiful experience for us all.

Thanks to Ginang de Leon for the lettering and numerals and to Jenny Butterworth from Harcourts, Paremata, who donated the Boards.

Parents are very welcome to join those classes who will pray the Stations later this week. Please ensure you are wearing a face mask. If the weather is fine, we will pray outside, otherwise we will pray in the corridors of Room 1 through 7.
