Shrove Tuesday, occurring a day before Lent, derives its name from the Old English term 'Shriven', signifying the act of seeking forgiveness through confession before embarking on the Lenten journey. Alternatively known as Pancake Tuesday, this day is marked by a tradition of indulging in pancakes, using ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter, often seen as symbolic of using up rich foods before the Lenten period of fasting and abstinence.

Cherishing our traditions is special, ensuring their continuity. The Social Justice team extended their outreach to the community, spreading joy and satisfaction during recess. This year the pancakes were so popular we sold out, with all proceeds going towards Caritas - Project Compassion – For all future generations 2024.
