Shrove Tuesday

On 13th February 2024, our college took part in the Shrove Tuesday celebrations by selling delectable picklets to students and teachers for breakfast in the morning. 

Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, comes before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent in the Christian calendar. It's a day for confessing and seeking forgiveness. People usually indulge in delicious foods like pancakes, since it allows them to utilise ingredients that are traditionally given up for Lent.

On this special day, the youth engagement leaders had the pleasure of assisting in setting up pancake stalls and collecting donations from everyone. The best part is that all donations went directly to the SFCC 2024 Project Compassion campaign. 

I was thrilled to see students lining up to purchase pancakes and contribute to Project Compassion. This made me feel proud of our SFCC community as they are all well aware of the plight and suffering of many people in the world and are showing great support for a noble cause.
