Year 11 students recently participated in their Reflection Day, an experience centred on spirituality, connection and deeper understanding.
The day began with community Mass at St Alipius Church, providing a meaningful opportunity for students to gather in faith and celebrate within the parish setting. It was a special moment to pause, reflect and engage in the richness of Catholic tradition.
Building on their current studies in spirituality and ancient religions, students were privileged to learn from guest presenter Tristan Harris, a proud Noongar man, who shared his knowledge of First Nations history, culture and spiritual connection to land. Through storytelling, discussion and guided reflection, students explored the depth and continuity of ancient traditions and their relevance today.
Students also engaged in hands-on cultural activities led by Alex Jamison, including boomerang throwing and dot painting. These experiences provided a tangible connection to learning, with students creating their own artwork as a memento of the day.
Led by Anna Power and the Catholic Culture team, the Reflection Day offered students a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of spirituality, culture and identity, while strengthening their connection to both faith and community.
