Fantastic to welcome our new S1 young people to Sinclair Academy. We started our day with an assembly discussing our school values. Evident throughout the day that this group of young people will be committed to demonstrating our values - Aspiration, Integrity, Mercy and Service.
Fantastic start to the new school year welcoming back our S2 and our brand new S1 pupils today. Lovely to see so many new happy faces learning in English this afternoon to end the first day back

Let us continue to pray for peace. May the Holy Spirit enlighten the minds of leaders and instill in them wisdom and a sense of responsibility, so they may avoid any action or word that fuels conflict. May they instead work decisively for a peaceful resolution of conflicts.

Let us #PrayTogether for victims of all wars, both present and past. May God help those who still suffer because of them. The first victims of these tragedies are always the poor, the weak, the elderly, and women and children.
