Six students from Year 11 attended the Senior Student Mission Forum, hosted by the Marist Youth Ministry team, a weekend retreat where students from Marist schools come together. They engaged with peers from various Marist schools, including one from Queensland, and participated in a discussion forum to unpack social issues that are relevant to them in their world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senior students learned about St Oscar Romero as a voice for the oppressed, and participated in workshops on Fast Fashion, Equity in Education, <\/em>and Overcoming Fear<\/em>. On Sunday, they engaged in the forum on the topics of Climate change, Gender equality, <\/em>and Homelessness<\/em>. They spoke with empathy and compassion and were seeking practical solutions to the problems, and how they can be implemented in their own school or local communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retreat concluded with a closing liturgy, where students reflected on the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each student was invited to choose one SDG that they felt passionate about and consider how they could contribute to achieving it in their local context. The boys shared that the experience deepened their understanding of social justice and strengthened their commitment to living out the Marist values as they continue to grow as Marist Men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
