Year 8 – Year 8 Reflection Day – 30 October

16 October 2026

Dear Parents/Carers of Year 8

Year 8 Reflection Day

As part of the College’s faith formation program, Year 8 students will take part in a compulsory Reflection Day on Friday, 30 October.

The theme of the day is “Authenticity’ and will be facilitated by the Sydney Catholic Schools Mission Team, assisted by Sydney Catholic Youth. The day aims to guide students in recognising their own intrinsic value, coming to know God deeper and His belief in us. The details of the event are as follows:

Venue:	Holy Name of Mary Parish Hall, Hunters Hill
When:	Friday 30 October (8.30am – 2.50pm)
Transport	Students will be transported by bus from the College to the venue and returned by the conclusion of the school day
Clothing:	Appropriate mufti clothing
Student Equipment:	Pen, Diary (no laptops required)

Parental consent must be given on Compass by Friday, 23 October.

Students are to bring their own morning tea and lunch for the day in a small bag.

After the event, I would like to encourage parents to start a conversation with your son about the activities and topics covered in the day. 

Yours sincerely

Mr Colm McCaughan
Religious Education Coordinator
