🕊️ Inter-faith Reflection

This week, pupils learned about Janmashtami, the Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna.

They reflected on Krishna’s teachings about kindness, honesty and courage, and considered how the choices we make can have a positive impact on others—particularly when we choose to do the right thing even when nobody is watching.
