St Edmund's College Spirituality Day
Last Friday, 12 Year 10 and 11 students went to Oxford Falls where they met St Edmund's College students to assist them with their spirituality day. Together the two schools made an instant connection and participated in many activities and played plenty of sport together throughout the day.
We participated in activities such as making maps of the places Jesus travelled, learning about Jesus’s apostles, and the re-creation of the good Samaritan parable. These activities were broken up with some time in the gym playing basketball and soccer. Overall, this experience was fantastic, and all the students had a great day at Oxford Falls learning about the New Testament and having fun.
