Sunday 8th November marks a rare convergence of Remembrance Sunday and the festival of Diwali. As millions light Diyas to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, we also pause to remember the fallen of both World Wars—including the 4 million Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, and other South Asian volunteers who served with distinction in the British Indian Army.
As a community at Borden Grammar School, let us take a moment this week to reflect on the courage of all those who served—including former students of our own school—and to share in the message of hope, peace, and renewal.

Explore the Sanskrit origins of the "row of lights", the ancient epic of the Ramayana—in which lamps were lit to guide Lord Rama, Sita, and Hanuman safely home after battle—and how Diyas, Rangoli patterns, and the welcoming of the goddess Lakshmi shape celebrations today.

'What in the World'?
'What in the World'?
Knowing what is happening in the world is really helpful, not just for RS, but for all sorts of subjects. Have you tried the podcast 'What in the World'? It is a fifteen minute podcast, Monday to Friday, that looks at a trending news story.
The Religious Studies Department would love to reintroduce 'Religious Studies A-Levels' - we believe it has so much to offer.
Do let the department know if you would like to study it; face to face, via the Google Feedback, e-mail or good old fashioned hand written letters. The more support we have the better!
