St Paul’s Cathedral was filled with the joyous sounds of music to commemorate the event, with massed hymn signing, talented musicians and an opportunity for Junior School and Senior School choirs to perform together. The pride on the faces of the very youngest choristers was lovely to see as they joined the older students.

The Most Reverend Archbishop Dr Philip Freier, provided a Blessing, and symbolic gifts were presented as part of the ceremony: the School Bible, as a sign of the faith and values of the School; the School Candle as a sign of our commitment to nurturing the light of learning; the School History as a sign of all who have been part of the School; a 2023 School Roll listing of staff and students to represent Ms Umber’s responsibility to look after, nurture and support the School community; and a Golden Mitre Rose as a sign of our appreciation of beauty and hope that we all grow in strength and knowledge together.
