Students recently travelled to Melbourne City as part of their Year 10 Religion Devotional Prayer unit of work. Throughout the excursion, students explored a range of prayer traditions and religious expression across significant Catholic and cultural sites. Students participated in Adoration and visited St Francis Church, engaged in Lectio Divina at St Patrick’s Cathedral, toured St Mary Star of the Sea and explored the British & European Collection (13th–16th Century) at the NGV, examining how religious beliefs and stories have been represented through art across history.
The experience provided students with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of devotional prayer, reflect on the role of spirituality and sacred spaces, and connect their classroom learning to authentic faith experiences within the wider community.
