Loreto year 6 pupils embrace spirit of giving this Lent

As part of their Lenten journey, Year 6 pupils at Loreto Convent School have embraced the true spirit of giving by donating Easter eggs to the Gibraltar Youth Service.

A local organisation dedicated to supporting children and young people across the community.

In the weeks leading up to Easter, the entire school community came together in a heartwarming show of solidarity, collecting a delightful assortment of Easter treats.

These were handed over to the Gibraltar Youth Service just in time to spread a little extra cheer to those facing challenges this spring.

“Lent is a time of reflection and compassion, and this initiative allowed our children to put those values into action. They were so proud to be making a difference, and it was heartwarming to see their generosity and empathy shine through," said Chrstina Taylor, a year 6 teacher in Loreto.

The Gibraltar Youth Service expressed their sincere appreciation for the thoughtful donation, which will help ensure that every child in their care enjoys a sweet surprise this Easter.

“At Loreto, teaching children the importance of kindness, service, and community is woven into everyday learning. Acts like these are a reminder that even small gestures can make a big impact
especially when given with love," said a statement from the school.
