Staff Spirituality PD Day

Last week, St Anne’s was warmly welcomed by our sister school, St Mel’s, for a special day of spirituality. Together, we shared moments of stillness, reflection, and connection.

We discovered that St Anne’s was born from St Mel’s, under the same parish. Each of our schools holds a celtic cross from the original St Mel’s church – a powerful symbol of our shared history and enduring bond.

It had been some time since we last came together, so spending the day in contemplation and conversation was both insightful and nourishing for the soul.

Reflection prompts from the day:

> What are you grateful for?

> We are all in different stages of our journey – how can we enrich each other’s lives as a team?

> What nourishes you? Sparks hope? Fills your cup?

> Do you find stillness in prayer, meditation, sport, baking, art, or mindfulness?

Key takeaways:

> It’s okay to be idle – rest is essential.

> Small acts of kindness create big ripples.

> If you can’t feed 100 people, feed one – you can still make a difference.

> Sometimes you need to pause in order to move forward.
