College Marks Historic Event

“I hope this Jubilee will bring together families and friends, neighbours and communities.” Her Majesty The Queen

As the country prepares for a 4-day celebration marking the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, our college community will join schools up and down the land to celebrate this unique historic event. Students and staff of the college will receive a gift marking the occasion.

In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen becomes the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, seventy years of service, having acceded to the throne on 6 February 1952 when she was 25 years old.

Throughout the year, The Queen and members of the Royal Family will travel around the country to undertake a variety of engagements to mark this historic occasion culminating with the Platinum Jubilee Weekend in June.

The extended bank holiday, from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June, will provide an opportunity for people and communities throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the unique milestone. The programme of events will include public events and community activities, as well as national moments of reflection on The Queen’s 70 years of service.

A quote from Pope Francis:

“Love and charity, are service, helping others, serving others. There are many people who spend their lives in this way, in the service of others. … When you forget yourself and think of others, this is love! And with the washing of the feet the Lord teaches us to be servants, and above all, servants as He was a servant to us, for every one of us.”
