THROWBACK THURSDAY | 150 years and so much history to reflect on and to enjoy. Here are some photos of St Mary's from the 1920s and 1930s. The first is a photo of a concert in 1923. The next 1930s image is a set of instructions for boarders and a shopping list, followed by uniform requirements of the day.

HARI NYEPI | Today is 'Hari Nyepi', a day of silence celebrated in Indonesia. In our Indonesian classes today, we're taking part in a cultural lesson to learn more about this special day. One of our activities involves creating lotus flowers, which are iconic symbols in the Hindu Bali religion. We're excited to learn more about this important tradition and its significance in Indonesian culture. #HariNyepi #IndonesianCulture #LotusFlowers"
