On Thursday 10 August the Year 9 cohort participated in their Faith Formation Day facilitated by Chris Doyle from Karis Ministries. Below is an excerpt from Rita Y, about her experience of the day:

Year 9 Faith Formation Day was truly a fantastic experience. It provided us, as students, with the opportunity to expand our knowledge of our Catholic Faith in a unique way, enabling us to grow closer to God. I feel that these days have personally helped me understand my faith better and build a closer relationship with Him. They have taught me how to approach my faith and have inspired me to live each day to the fullest while keeping God at the centre of my life. This creative method of teaching about our religion has engaged me more and imparted valuable life lessons. I believe the same is true for the rest of the Year 9 cohort.

I distinctly remember the day when Chris Doyle came for our Term 3 Faith Formation Day. Not only did he encourage us to reflect on the type of people we want to become, but he did so in a fun and appealing manner, allowing everyone to focus and absorb his teachings. He created a comfortable and 'chilled' environment, bringing our cohort closer while also opening our eyes to how basing our choices on the three virtues of faith, hope, and love can positively impact our lives. Faith Formation Day is designed to bring us closer, not only to God and our faith but also to each other as a year level. My experience with Year 9 Faith Formation Day strongly reinforces this. It has always been a fun and valuable day, and I can't wait for the next one to come.
