Year 10 Youth Ministry and SAC Youth

At St Andrews College, our Year 10 Youth Ministry Leaders have been undergoing a formation program facilitated by Qwayne Guevara, Eleanor Bonwick and Sebastian Duhau from Catholic Youth Parramatta. These students have attended ongoing formation sessions since the beginning of last term, and are using their new skills and talents to serve their school community in the context of peer-to-peer youth ministry. Our Year 10 Youth Ministry Leaders have learned how to facilitate small groups and lead discussions, give personal testimonies, run icebreaker activities, and use their personal talents (e.g. musical skills). They have shown these skills at Year 7, Year 8 and Year 10 Reflection Days, and will now be going to the St Andrews Primary School to assist Eleanor and Sebastian in facilitating the Year 6 Reflection Day.

Our Year 10 Youth Ministry leaders have also started to take a lead role in running SAC YOUTH sessions, which is our student-led youth group on the junior campus. Last week’s session was led by Nikki and Isabella who used the current events of the Olympics as a theme for understanding and using our God-given talents.

We are so proud of the ongoing efforts of our Year 10 Youth Ministry leaders, and the growth they have experienced in not just their ministry skills, but their own personal relationships with God. We are looking forward to giving them more opportunities to serve our school community in different ways.
