The Senior Primary pupils were undeterred by the temporary moratorium on singing in schools owing to the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. In class music and chapel, the girls are learning to gesture in sign language to various hymns. In the video link below, the Grade 5s are signing the beloved hymn, Make me a channel of Your peace, composed by Sebastian Temple. Perhaps, this half-term, we can all make time to reflect on the meaning of the text:

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul

We congratulate Caelen Buchanan (Grade 5) on her wonderful solo violin performance at the Grade 4 assembly of the Gavotte from Mignon composed by Ambroise Thomas. Caelen’s performance marks the first live performance at an assembly in over a year.
It truly does warm the heart to know our girls are not perturbed by the current world circumstances.

Musical greetings
