By Ms Kristen Calandra Learning Area Leader - Religious Education and Formation

How do I know if God even exists? Do I have a soul? What's the purpose of my life?

These are some of the questions that students don’t usually get the chance to ask in class.

For this very reason, every Thursday at lunchtime, our thinkers, theologians and philosophers have come along with their questions to watch ‘The Search: a visual feast of art, philosophy, science, history and theology’.

Below is what some of our students have said about their experience so far:

“During these documentaries, I really enjoyed this experience of learning new things and how it answers the hard questions about life and religion that I have been wanting to know.I also enjoyed the free snacks since I like to run straight there and don't eat first, so I could have gone hungry otherwise. The only thing that I don't like about this experience is the fact that it will end soon, please continue these interesting documentaries next term.” - Elijah Isen, 7 Wonga

“I found The Search really enjoyable and it is helping me get a better perspective of the world” - Hayden Cutajar, 7 Lingiari

“Your relationship deepens with God and you learn the truth.” - Ej Hautea, 7 Marin-Kurrang

“I think 'The Search' has expanded my thoughts on how life was created. I also had a lot of questions and the videos weren't boring - they had lots of colour and images. I love The Search.” - Olivia Riepsamen, 7 Kulin

“It’s a very good experience. We get to meet new people and meet new friends. It gives you a better understanding. You get closer to God. The questions that are unanswered get answered.” - Xavier Bernardo 7 Marin-Kurrang

“It opens your mind and it’s a wonderful experience. It answers questions that you wouldn’t usually think about or know the answer to.” - Jacob Rebustillo, 7 Marin-Kurrang

“I like it a lot because it answers some questions that I have been wondering for a long time… Also because the videos are really interesting.” - Ben Farrugia, 7 Wonga

“It gives you a good background for questions that you can’t really solve without any help. It brings you closer to the Gospel.” - Jordan Phan, 7 Marin-Kurrang

“It gave me a better perspective on how I can get closer to God and how everything came into place.” - Ethan Tu, 7 Marin-Kurrang

“The Search is a good thing if you want to know if God exists or anything that is unknown.”- Malak Hadaia, 7 Marin-Kurrang

The Search will continue until the end of Term 1. Watch this space for more opportunities for thinkers and theologians at CRCCS.
