A heart-warming Basher Ceremony with their skivvy mistresses launched the Grade 8s into their high-school career. In the homily, Reverend Trewern spoke encouraging words of wisdom to the Grade 8s. He believed that they were ready for high school despite it being said to be difficult and that they had done well so far. He shared the phrase ‘Deus lux mea est’, which means ‘God is my light’ with them.
