The Year 7 Faith Formation Day was phenomenal. I learned about the College Pillars and the meaning of each Pillar. The Pillars are Stewardship, Compassion, Learning, and Prayer. The Learning workshop was very inspirational and interesting. We learned about three inspirational people: Nick Vujicic, who was born without arms and legs; the ‘Tank Man’, who tried to stop tanks from his own country to prevent violence in China and the Soldier who sacrificed his life to prevent people being killed by a suicide bomber.
The Compassion workshop, instructed by Mrs. Matilda Mattar, was all about being compassionate and kind to those around us. We made bags for homeless people to provide them with food and water, and we included a little message in each bag as well.
The Prayer workshop was led by the LIHM sisters. They taught us how to pray the Rosary and led us in a prayer.
Finally, my favourite part of the day was the Stewardship workshop. It was instructed by Josh, a rapper who goes by the musician name Sir Augie. He started by telling us a bit about himself and how he uses his God given gift of music to evangelise. He also shared with us that he created the Roblox game called Meta Saint.
