2024 South-East Queensland Anglican Schools Student Leaders Symposium | Reflection, Photo Gallery & Video Highlights
2024 South-East Queensland Anglican Schools Student Leaders Symposium | Reflection & Photo Gallery
It was great to have the Anglican Student Leaders Symposium begin its day in our Chapel of the Good Shepherd, having Morning Prayer together.
Student leaders from Anglican schools across South-East Queensland helped to lead the service.
We were all blessed to be guided in our reflection time by the words of Archbishop of Brisbane Jeremy Greaves, who himself drew upon words from Archbishop of Canterbury Michael Ramsay - one of our Patrons here at Canterbury College.
The students heard from Bishop John Roundhill - Bishop of the Southern Region, later in the day too.
It was wonderful for him to be with us for Worship as well.

College Chaplain

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.
