Living Water Praxis Program

Shortly, our Year 11 students will be participating in their Day 1 intensive of the Living Water Praxis Program.  The program is designed to enrich the student’s knowledge about and experience of the Catholic faith through prayer, liturgy, social justice, advocacy and Eucharistic celebration.

Service learning is a key component of the program, involving students in being both ‘welcomer’ and ‘guest’ to the marginalised in our society. Day 1 intensive explores service learning through the lens of ‘welcomer’ and ‘guest’ as well as the strategy ‘Head, Hearts and Hands’. Students also explore who God is for them and make meaning and understanding of God in their lives and in the lives of the poor and marginalised. The story of the woman at the well will be the basis for charity, challenge and change, exploring this story in a contemporary context.

This intensive day will prepare our students with greater skills and understanding of their call to service within our school and wider community, as they continue to live the Gospel message in our world.
