On Thursday 23 October, our Year 11 students gathered for their Reflection Day here at school, led by Fr Luke and the Passionist Youth. The day invited them to pause and consider who they are becoming as young adults and leaders within our Mercy community.
Through fun, prayer, problem-solving, personal reflection, and group activities, students explored themes of connection, purpose, and integrity, guided by our Mercy values.
Some student comments about the day included:
- ‘It was good to be able to work with our friends throughout the day-- it made me feel more engaged with the activities’
- ‘The day was much better than I thought it would be’
- ‘Can't wait for them to run year 12 retreat’
- ‘Better than I thought, good job’
- ‘Fun, engaging, a good opportunity to connect, relevant in my life’
Thank you to the staff who supported the day and helped create an atmosphere of openness and reflection. It was a valuable opportunity for students to step back from the busyness of school life and look ahead to their final year with renewed focus and hope.
