Ash Wednesday Service | Lent Explained & Photo Gallery
Ash Wednesday Service | Lent Explained & Photo Gallery
Yesterday afternoon, our students from Years 1-12 participated in our Ash Wednesday Service, marking the commencement of Lent. ⛪✝️
Lent is 40 days, excluding Sundays, observed in the Christian calendar, dedicated to fasting, prayer, and reflection leading up to Easter Sunday.
It holds significant importance for Christians, especially those in the Anglican tradition, serving as a time of spiritual preparation and self-examination.
During Lent, Anglicans often give up something they enjoy or find challenging, like certain foods or habits, as a form of self-discipline and sacrifice.
This practice aims to redirect focus towards spiritual growth, detachment from material possessions, and strengthening one's relationship with God.
Moreover, Lent encourages increased prayer and contemplation on one's faith journey and connections with others.
Anglicans may engage in special worship services, such as Stations of the Cross or Lenten meditations, to aid in this introspection.
In the Anglican tradition, Lent serves as a vital period of preparation for Easter, the pinnacle of the Christian calendar.
Through observing Lent, Anglicans strive to deepen their spirituality, strengthen their faith, and gain a deeper understanding of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection.

Club Championships | Rules & Eligibility Conditions
- Only registered financial Canterbury Taipans Swimming Club Members are eligible to compete in these Club Championships.
- Competitors can only compete in their assigned age group and events.
- Events will be swum as multi-age events with places awarded based on assigned age groups.
- Competitors are encouraged to nominate for as many eligible events as possible.
- Stroke age champions will be announced for both the Boys and Girls Divisions, with the overall Boys and Girls Club Champions to be decided via a total points system.
- The more events you nominate for and swim in – the more points you gain towards being the Club Champion.
- In the event of an equal points situation, a ‘swim-off’ will be held where each competitor chooses their favourite event from the evening, then swims this event again, to try and match their previous time. These competitors can swim different strokes and lengths to each other. Closest time to the original time wins the ‘swim off’.
- Being a club level event, there will be rule tolerance, meaning it is not necessary for swimmers to be technically correct – but they must start in a fair manner.
- Coaches reserve the right to re-start or re-run events, or disqualify individual competitors from events, should it be required.
Club Championships | Events & Age Groups
Club Championships | Awards & Records
First, second and third places will be awarded for each competitive age group, swimming stroke and race distance category.
In each age-competitive event, competitors can accrue points towards the Age Champion for each swimming stroke according to their placement.
The overall Boys and Girls Club Champions will be awarded to the swimmers with the highest overall points scored during the evening.
Points are awarded as follows:
5 points for each first place | 3 points for each second place | 1 point for each third place.
Reminder: Any tie-breaks will require you to try and match your previous race time in a swim-off with the closest time winning.
