Religious Education Report

It has been a fantastic start to the year across all year levels in Religious Education.

Our Year 12 students had the privilege of hearing from Glenn Manton, who led a powerful and thought-provoking session filled with real and raw conversations about life, resilience, and purpose.

Year 11 students also had a significant experience with the Aspects of Religion Presentation, where Principal Mr. Exton and Deputy Principal of Faith and Mission, Ms. Carmen Ahearn, shared personal reflections on faith and its impact on their lives.

A particular highlight has been the enthusiasm in our Year 7 classes as they begin their journey at Saint Ignatius. Students have been exploring the deeper meaning behind the school logo and what it represents.

One student reflected:

"My class and I expanded our understanding of the logo and realised it holds a deeper meaning. We discovered that the cross represents our Catholic identity, the stars encourage us to 'reach for the stars,' and 'AMARE ET SERVIRE' means 'to Love and to Serve.' For me, wearing the logo makes me feel proud to be part of the Saint Ignatius community."

With such a strong start, we look forward to continuing these enriching experiences that challenge and inspire our students in faith and learning.
