Year 7 Reflection Day
On Friday 17 February, Year 7 had their annual Reflection Day. The purpose of this incursion was for the Year 7 cohort to gather for a day of prayer, discussion, reflection and sharing. Here is a reflection from two of our Year 7 girls…
Year 7 Reflection day was embraced by all year 7 students. There were connective and individual activities that brought us together and helped us to understand what it means to be Catholic and believe in God. We played games that involved teamwork so that we could learn how to work with each other. There were activities that expanded our knowledge on who God is and what He has sacrificed for us. This day really involved everyone and got them to come out of their comfort zones, be more open and connect with others.
Each year 7 student was put into a small group of people they were not familiar with, to get us to open up and share our opinions. Whether you were of the Christian beliefs or not did not matter. We studied the parable of the Good Samaritan and how this is used in our everyday lives. This really brought us together to learn about our religion and connect as a group.
