Dear Parents

Greg Brown is away supporting our team at the Selborne Water Polo Festival in East London.

Thank you to the parents who attended the Ash Wednesday Service in the Memorial Chapel. I thought it would be appropriate to share a small part of Father Monwabisi's message as we approach the season of Lent.

Fast from hurting words and say kind words.

Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude.

Fast from anger and be filled with patience.

Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope.

Fast from worries and have trust in God.

Fast from complaints; contemplate simplicity.

Fast from pressures and be prayerful.

Fast from bitterness; fill your hearts with joy.

Fast from selfishness and be compassionate.

Fast from grudges and be reconciled.

Fast from words; be silent and listen.

Pope Francis

Have a good weekend.

Kind regards

CHRIS GROOM
