Welcome to SummerAt last, as Covid restrictions start to be relaxed, we can begin to regain a bit more 'in person' human contact. The African word 'ubuntu' means 'I am, because you are', reminding us that we cannot live and thrive in isolation; we need to value and nurture our friends, families and communities, because we are all part of each other.
Covid has been especially corrosive of our social bonds and friendship support networks, because it prevents physical closeness and thus hinders our relational awareness (which is a key element of our spirituality).
Let's remember to continue to support each other this term, because one thing Covid has taught us is how much we need each other.

'Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness, you can't be human all by yourselfSecondary teachers: please complete the
