At Turnbull High School, we do our best to enable our young people to enter into the rhythm of the liturgical year through the planning of our curriculum and through our retreat programme. During December, BGE pupils enjoyed an Advent Retreat on the theme ‘Bearing Gifts.’ Through reflecting on the Annunciation, the Nativity Scene and the gift of the Magi, the young people considered the great gift of the incarnation, Our Lady’s gift of herself and the ways in which they can return their gifts to God. Pupils ended the retreat with praying the Angelus.
What can I give him, poor as I am,
If I were a shepherd I would give a lamb,
If I were a wise man I would do my part
yet what I have I give Him, give my heart.
