World Suicide Prevention Day 2020

World suicide prevention day 2020 was celebrated in Our Lady’s on the 10/09/20.

In support of the cycle against suicide ‘Lighting of Lights’ Campaign, we had our candle of hope lighting for the duration of the school day, in remembrance of those who have been bereaved by suicide.

We also had a special intentions box where students could pop in a special intention or prayer for someone they knew.

Our school was decorated with balloons that all had positive messages on them, and at the end of the day some of our Transition year students let them go outside of the school, as a sign of hope.

Although some things are different in our school this year, it is important that we mark these important days, and all our students and staff did a fantastic job in putting in so much effort for this day.
