YEAR 6 ENCOUNTER During this special event today students have engaged in high energy Praise and Worship, dialogued with students from other schools in their local area, widened their spiritual awareness and experienced Eucharistic Adoration. This day has been designed to align with Stage Three Learning Cycle Five “What is Human Dignity?”, with a particular focus on students experiencing a very real “encounter” with Christ, through their experience with one another and through a powerful experience of Eucharistic Adoration, a new experience of church. Gen Bryant, who leads this formation event, is a dynamic young talented woman of faith who is a humble witness to God’s great love. See some snaps below of our day!
