The definition for our pillar of Compassion spoke loudly to our Year 7’s- “motivated by the love of Christ, we are compelled to carry the needs and suffering of others”. It was during the Year 7 Reflection Day that our pillar was deeply explored, experiences were exchanged, and goals were set. It was an opportunity to plant the seed in the hearts of our young, as we provided insight and inspiration on the meaning of being a good compassionate human being.

When carrying the needs and suffering of others, we stopped to think about people within our community who are less fortunate than ourselves. Each student was invited to write a message to a random individual, reminding them of the fact that there are people who care. The message was placed in a bag, with a few snacks, and later picked up by a local charity organisation – Paradise for Kids.

Thank you to the entire Year 7 cohort, who displayed a sense of respect for our pillar, and for taking the time out to think about the other.

May God bless you and never forget to always spread kindness and compassion. Be such a good human that people envy you and decide to jump on board.
