St Spyridon College students bring Holy Week traditions to life

·

St Spyridon College’s Junior Campus concluded Term 1 with a meaningful and deeply reflective Easter concert, shared with the wider school community as students and staff entered the school holidays and Holy Week.

The event brought together faith, tradition and creativity, with students delivering a heartfelt program that captured the spiritual journey of Great Lent and the significance of Holy Week.

Through storytelling, the singing of traditional hymns and the chanting of the Lamentation Hymns (Engomia), students conveyed the depth and reverence of the Easter period, offering a moving experience for all in attendance.

The concert was attended by Father Steven, Father Stavros, and Mr Elia Economou from St Spyridon Parish, who joined Mrs Amelia Katsogiannis and Mr Alan Dookie in supporting and celebrating the students’ efforts.

Beyond the stage, the Easter spirit was evident across the entire College, with students actively engaging in Lenten traditions as part of their learning.

Activities such as baking koulouria provided a hands-on connection to cultural practices, allowing students to experience the richness of Greek Orthodox heritage in a tangible and meaningful way.

Together, these experiences reinforced the College’s commitment to nurturing both the spiritual and cultural identity of its students, bringing the community together in reflection, celebration and preparation for the most sacred time of the Orthodox calendar.
