Article by Ms. Amanda Da Riva | Religious Education Learning Area Leader
Over the past few weeks, Religious Education here at the College has provided students with rich opportunities to explore faith in action, deepen their understanding of core Catholic values, and engage meaningfully with real-world issues through an Ignatian lens.
Our Year 7 students recently led class liturgies centred on the theme of Caring for Creation. These student-led experiences not only encouraged personal reflection but also helped to foster a deeper awareness of our responsibility to protect and respect God’s creation. It was inspiring to see our youngest students confidently lead prayer and discussion, demonstrating both reverence and thoughtful engagement with the message of stewardship.
At the other end of the College, our Year 12 students were fortunate to hear from guest speaker Mark "Squiz" Squirrell. Squiz’s extraordinary life journey from army officer to humanitarian aid worker, offered students an insight into ethical decision-making, global justice, and what it means to live a life in service of others. His stories of courage, resilience and hope powerfully reinforced the Ignatian call to be men and women for others.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Parents and Friends Association for their generous support in helping bring this event to life. Their contribution continues to enrich the learning and spiritual formation of our students in meaningful ways.
As this Term comes to a close, we take pride in the many opportunities students have had to explore their faith, engage with real-world issues, and grow as young people of conscience and compassion.
