The visit began with a whole-school assembly where Tricia thanked our community for last year’s incredible fundraising efforts and shared the amazing impact those donations have made around the world. Pupils learned how their generosity helps transform lives and supports those most in need. Following the assembly, **Year 4** took part in a thought-provoking workshop focused on the **Year of Jubilee**. As we marked the close of this special year, pupils reflected on how they can carry **hope forward** in their own lives and share it with others through action and kindness. At St. Mary’s, we are proud to nurture a spirit of compassion and global responsibility in our pupils—living out our mission of **faith, hope, and action** every day.
