Year 8 Reflection Day

Year 8 Reflection Day - 'God in All Things'

Year 8 Students participated in their annual Reflection Day on Thursday 11 November. Students considered, discussed and created images of how they encounter 'God in All Things.' Thanks especially to Mr Loyola for facilitating the day along with our teachers. The Poetry Slam at the end of the day was great fun and the insights of students and staff alike were enriching for us as an intentional faith community.    What our students had to say:

"When we considered 'God in All things', we thought of God to be an almighty being who was with us spiritually at all times, that he is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. This Reflection Day helped our understanding of God through a series of icebreakers and personal reflective activities. Personally, I enjoyed listening to other people's encounters with God and how they believe that God is everywhere, even if they may feel like he is not. It felt reassuring and gave us students an even greater understanding of God and his presence with us." - Lexi Marasigan 8F5

"As a Year 8 student we considered 'God in All things' as an almighty being, who knows all, sees all and is everywhere. The reflection day helped us build this understanding with many tasks and testimonies. One of my favourite examples was from the teachers input, where they had a chance to tell us their story and key moments from their journey with God. This Reflection Day has given us a more in-depth understanding of God's presence and his role in our lives!" - Youssef Tannous 8C8   Thanks to all staff and students for their participation in what was an enriching day for all in our faith journeys.   Mr Frank Clarke Director of Faith, Mission and Learning
