YEAR 7 visit National Gallery Exhibition in Winchester Cathedral

Just before our Ash Wednesday service, the boys of 7S enjoyed the National Gallery's installation of a facsimile of Jan Gossaert's 'The Adoration of the Kings' (1515).

We are most grateful to Ms Emma Bourner, Director of Learning at Winchester Cathedral, for arranging this visit for us. The boys of 7X and 7Y will be experiencing this installation for themselves on Monday, 7 March.

Although largely a secular celebration, Losar also includes the rededication of the country to Buddhism. It especially celebrates the miracles performed by the historical Buddha at Sravasti, the capital city of the kingdom of Kosala.
