Year 9 Reflection Day

On Tuesday this week, Year 9 students experienced their wonderful Reflection Day at Holy Name of Mary, Hunters Hill. The theme of the day was Courage with a focus on the question: What are you discussing on your journey? 

This day, inspired by the scripture passage ‘The Walk to Emmaus’ Lk 24: 13-35, invited students to reflect on their own journey throughout their time at Domremy College.

The Year 9 students were asked to focus on the following: “we need many things when we embark on a journey, some are practical, some are physical, some are emotional, spiritual.  Sometimes our needs change, mid journey…we need to be adaptable, careful, be active listeners.

Students were asked: As Year 9 students, ‘What are you discussing on your journey? Where are you going? Where is this road taking you? Where is it leading you? What courage do you need on this journey?

 Y9 Student reflection: “Year 9 had a wonderful day full of activities during Reflection Day at Holy Name of Mary, Hunters Hill. Through the days’ theme on “Courage” we were able to reflect on our obstacles courageously which allowed us to share, connect and build relationships with our peers and teachers.” 

 I would like to thank all the staff who attended the day made a significant impact on the successful running of the day: Ms Isabella Bechara, Ms Cristina Peros, Ms Alyssa Intili, Ms Sylvia Bath, Ms Katherine Hoban, Ms Maria Xafelis, Ms Mark Pangilinan, Ms Marilyn Fiamengo, Ms Meryl Litherland and Mr Phillip Romachko.
