Year 9 Reflection Day
Year 9’s Reflection Day was a great opportunity to connect with God, yourself and the cohort. We explored many topics under the theme of God’s Masterpiece such as self image, the different types of love and how we can relate this back to Christ and our spiritual journey.
We participated in many activities such as fun icebreakers, small group discussions, watching a plethora of videos and painting that enabled us to foster a deep understanding of what God’s Masterpiece means and strengthen our connection to Him. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the day was singing hymns as a cohort and learning the song of the day, Graves into Gardens. Through this experience the grade exemplified camaraderie as we sang of God’s strength, grace and compassion. This incursion allowed us to reflect on our relationships with God, taught us how he is evident in all aspects of our lives and opened us to other understandings and perceptions of God through group discussions. The Year 9 Reflection Day was a highly immersive experience which all of the grade enthusiastically participated in and all enjoyed. The incursion left an important and lasting message on everyone, as well as a stronger connection with God and sense of self.
