FAITH MATTERS
Year 10 Graduation
In preparation for the Year 10 Graduation 202, students reflected on ‘hope in a challenging year’. The Gospel of John was chosen by the students who felt that finding hope was also finding the light. The following is the Gospel included in the graduation celebration:
Here is the message we have heard from God and now tell to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. So, if we say that we have fellowship with God, but we continue living in darkness, then we do not follow the light and truth. God is in the light. We should live in the light, too. If we live in the light, we share fellowship with each other. And when we live in the light of Christ, God’s Son, gives us life and hope. (1 John 1:5-7)
Our Year 10 Captain Sacreana, unpacked the Graduation theme `Where there is light there is hope’ in her welcome to students.
“…..Everyone brought their own light and gifts to this school and became a light for others. When we first stepped into this school with fresh eyes and witnessed our first liturgy, we were met with the words ‘This is a place of goodness and light...’ and rightfully so. Wherever there is light there is hope, and our hopes and dreams have not dulled over the years but have continued to shine as bright as the stars. This light embedded within us led us to become the people who ‘built a house where love can dwell.' ……….This chapter will never be forgotten as long as we continue to share the light within ourselves for where there is light, there is hope”.
We wish our Year 10’s well as they move onto Catholic Regional College Sydenham and continue to share their light with others.
