To help deepen their understanding of prayer as a way of connecting with God, students created their own Rock and Stick Art Sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using natural materials from God\u2019s creation, students designed simple but meaningful sculptures symbolising peace, gratitude, hope and the presence of God in our everyday lives. As they built their artwork, students reflected quietly on the importance of taking time to pause, listen and speak to God through prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hands\u2011on activity encouraged our learners to express their faith creatively while honouring St Dominic\u2019s example of contemplation and devotion. We are so proud of the thoughtful and reverent way students engaged in this special experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Christopher Walker<\/strong><br>Coordinator of Outdoor Education &amp; Experiential Learning<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Tina Nicotina<\/strong><br>Religious Education Coordinator<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"784\" height=\"588\" data-id=\"20297\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200.jpg 784w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7200-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7201.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"951\" data-id=\"20299\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7201.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7201.jpg 712w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7201-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7201-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7203.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"749\" data-id=\"20298\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7203.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7203.jpg 562w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7203-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/IMG_7203-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week our students continued their St Dominic the Adventurer journey by working towards the Badge of Prayer.
