We began the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday, for which we gave up something; with the help of the teachers, we identified behaviours we could take up as well. They suggested:

· Being kind

· Being considerate

· Being helpful

The reading in our last chapel service for Lent was the story of The Good Samaritan taken from Luke 10: 25- 37. In the version we read, the story’s title was The Kind Stranger. The story of The Good Samaritan is one of Jesus’ famous parables. The story is about Jesus helping a man answer the question of who his neighbour is.

In our chapel service, we discussed the actions of different people in the story. We also considered our own actions over Lent, how kind, considerate and helpful we had been. The girls shared stories about acts of kindness and the teachers reflected on when they saw the girls being kind and helpful.

It was beautiful to end the season of Lent with the parable of The Good Samaritan. It allowed us to look back on our Lent observances and review our actions and behaviour. We look forward to Easter with joy and expectancy.
