This week we have been reflecting on the Presentation of the Lord, when Simeon recognises Jesus as āa light to enlighten the nations.ā We have thought about what it means not just to receive that light, but to carry it into the world through our words, actions, and choices.
We have also connected this to our Heart of Newman Award, which celebrates those who have quietly and faithfully let their light shine. These awards recognise students who live out our values ā through kindness, service, courage, and care for others ā often without seeking attention.
By awarding the Heart of Newman to those who have let their light shine last term, we are reminded that light is not something we keep to ourselves. Like Christ, we are called to be a light for others, especially in moments of darkness, challenge, or need.
May we continue to notice the light in one another, celebrate it, and be brave enough to let our own light shine each day.
