A Reflection Day is held each year for Years 7 – 12.
This
is a day when normal classes are suspended to enable students to
participate. The College recognises that this is an important time for
students to step back from their normal school routine and reflect on
themselves, other people around them, and where God may fit into this
picture.
Some reflection days are conducted by the National Evangelisation
Team Ministries, a group of young people from various parts of Australia
and the world who travel around the country running Retreats and
Reflection days for students and parish groups. They are an
enthusiastic, lively and creative group of people who fully involve our
students during these practical and popular days.
The Project Hatch Team works in Catholic schools and with church
youth groups from Rockhampton to Tasmania running days full of live
music, activities, discussions, spirituality and personal reflection.
Senior Year students usually work with Michael Fitzpatrick. Michael
is well regarded within the Catholic schools in South East Queensland
for providing thought provoking days with real world insight and
activities.
For Year 12s, the Reflection day is held in the final week of
school, two days before graduation. It provides students with the
opportunity to assess their future as well as reflect upon their 13
years at school. This day happens amidst a very special transition in
the student’s life and has become an integral part of their St Francis
College educational experience, once again helping them to prepare for
life beyond the College.
