24:7 Serve Youth Group
Our Friday after school youth group continues to thrive this term as our Youth Ministers provide engaging experiences for our students. Youth Group always has plenty of fun, laughter, sport and games as well as poingant presentations based firmly on our Catholic faith tradition and scripture. This term the team have been delivering a Four Point Gospel program using the Lion King as a metaphor for the key messages they present. The students are enjoying this creative way of applying their faith to everyday life.
Servite All Souls Day
Each year on 17 November the Servite Orders celebrate All Souls Day. This year, to commemorate Servite All Souls Day, we will be holding a liturgy to pray for all departed members of the Servite Community. We warmly invite students, parents and guardians to join us in this liturgy during Break 2 (1.00pm) on Monday 18 November in the Auditorium. Parents and guardians please sign in at College Reception before moving to the Auditorium.
Just Leadership Day
A group of Year 9 students recently travelled to Mary MacKillop Community Catholic Primary School to help facilitate a Just Leadership Day for Year 5 students. In preparation for this event, students participated in two training workshops run by Justice Educator from Caritas Australia, Dr Nathan Leber. The students were prepared to run workshops with the Year 5s about social justice in our world today. At the beginning of the day the students were feeling nervous, however as the day started their leadership and presentation skills shone. They quickly bonded with their small groups, leading discussions and empowering the younger students to explore the topics in creative ways.
This opportunity gave students a glimpse into what the Certificate II Course in Active Volunteering will be like in Year 10. I Encourage any Year 9 student who thinks they would like to be involved in days such as this one to come and chat or email Mr Crossley or myself at the College.
