Year 8 - Catch the Wave Program

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the annual

'Catch the Wave Retreat' for Year 8 students is being offered in a revised format. All Year 8 RE students are participating in a retreat program during their regular RE classes in the College Chapel. Over the next four weeks, each class will attend three sessions. The retreat will be run by our Youth Ministry Officers (YMOs) and is aimed at preparing students to make choices regarding their future Religious Education pathways at the College.

In the following weeks the Year 8 RE students will participate in:

group development activities,
a showcase of the events and activities that Youth Ministry students are involved in,
hearing the stories of older Youth Ministry students and Youth Ministers
the opportunity to ‘Express Interest” in joining a Youth Ministry class next year.

This week Year 8RE2,3,4,6,7 and 8 classes attended their first session. There are some pictures from these sessions below.

Thank you to Chloe Nash and Amelia Stennett, our amazing Youth Ministry Officers, for designing and running this program.

About Youth Ministry at the College

The College offers Youth Ministry classes in Years 9 and 10 that have an additional focus on Youth Ministry development. Students who attend these classes often go on to become members of the Senior Youth Ministry team in Years 11 and 12 and some become Youth Ministers at our College and Diocese.

Our Youth Ministry classes participate in programs called Introduction to Youth Ministry, Youth Ministry and Leadership, and Youth Ministry and Spirituality during Years 9 and 10 in addition to their normal RE curriculum. Students who join the class also commit to activities outside the classroom such as:

Planning and running retreats for Year 5, 6, and 7 in our local primary schools
Planning and running liturgies in our school community
Involvement in Parish youth activities and liturgies
Outreach and service activities

Prayer through Music

Listening to music is a powerful way to relax and manage stress. A slower tempo song can soothe the stress of the day by quieting your mind and relaxing your muscles.
