This school year's theme, "Be the Light," encourages each of us to make the world better by shining with kindness, faith, and love. The idea comes from Jesus’ teachings in the Bible, where He says, “I am the light of the world,” and also tells us, “You are the light of the world.” These words mean that while God is the true source of light and goodness, we are called to reflect that light through how we live. In other words, our actions—whether big or small—can bring hope and joy to others. We’re invited to live by the values that matter most: respect, compassion, fairness, generosity, and understanding. Even when things seem hard or unfair in the world, this theme reminds us that we have the power to bring light into those situations. By choosing to do what’s right and helping people around us, we become part of something much bigger—sharing God’s light and love with everyone we meet.

About the School Year Theme Logo Design

The logo for this year’s theme is filled with powerful symbols that show what the theme is all about. At the centre is a curving path, which represents our journey through life. It stretches into the distance to show the future, with all its ups and downs. The path is highlighted in green, representing growth, life, and new beginnings - we are constantly growing and learning. As the path reaches the horizon, it subtly forms a cross, showing that our faith is at the heart of everything we do and guiding us along the way. From this cross, bright rays of light burst outward, representing the good things we share with others, like love, kindness, hope, and courage. These rays remind us that when we live our faith, we become a light for other people who may be going through darkness or struggles. The logo also shows that true learning involves both our minds and hearts, and that faith can guide us in becoming caring, wise, and joyful people. It’s a visual reminder that we each have a special role to play in lighting up the world.
