This week we are focusing on well-being throughout the school. The world proposes many sources of peace but let’s remember that our hearts are wired for God and only in Him can we find true and lasting peace.
Well-being Week 2019
Annual Rorate Mass 2018
The last week of the Advent term is marked by a number of events, social, charitable and fun. There is an event, now etched on the Turnbull Calendar that is growing in popularity for its silence and beauty- the annual Rorate Mass.
The tradition of Rorate Masses goes back into our Catholic history and is a sunrise Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary by candlelight. Pupils, staff and family members filled the oratory, some having to stand as we gathered around the altar awaiting the coming of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and on the last day.
Refreshed in hope by the prayer and chant we shared in breakfast and had opportunity to spend time in conversation.
We thank Fr Monaghan for offering the Mass that day, the servers and singers and Liam, our Head Boy, who read.
Vocations Awareness Conference 2018
Vocations Awareness Day
On the 11th of September this year, S1-S4 pupils had the fantastic opportunity to attend a Vocations event in Turnbull as part of National Vocations Awareness Week. The day-long event, arranged by the RE department in collaboration with SERRA proved a huge success, with various different speakers, with different nationalities, who had fascinating stories of how they found their vocations. This opportunity allowed our wider community to connect, celebrate, and through our faith, everyone was joined together in considering God’s calling for each of us. We were fortunate enough to welcome back three former pupils of Turnbull High who have each chosen religious paths to follow in their lives: Sister Andrea (Sisters of the Gospel of Life), Brother (Soon to be Father!) Anthony of the Passionists and Mairi-Clare who works for the Archdiocesan Youth Team. At the end of each talk, the pupils were able to chat and ask questions to any of the visitors, which gave everyone different perspectives on the idea of vocation. We were reminded that faith is the key to happiness and, from this fabulous experience, we pray that each pupil will
become stronger in their faith and begin to listen to God’s voice in their lives.
