Faith in Ac on: Caritas Christmas

This week we had the privilege of welcoming Year 6 students into the RE department on Open Evening. The atmosphere was brilliant, with the Year 6’s eager to explore. We had artefacts displayed represen ng all the world religions. Dr Keogh par cularly enjoyed explaining to people the significance of the Sikh Kirpan dagger. We also had ac vi es such as ‘If you could ask God one ques on, what would it be?’ This proved to be interes ng with people asking some profound and philosophical ques ons such as ‘Is God always listening?’ Two roving reporters in Year 7 produced the following write up of the evening: ‘In RE they have had an immersive experience to learn all about the subject and the religions you study here at the school. Entering a room with a deligh ul smell of incense in the air, the young people were greeted with students dressed in various religious ou its and clothing with artefacts and religious items on the different tables. There were examples of different kinds of worship with books and candles with calming music in the background. Students were encouraged to think about the ques on on the tables and look at the examples of student’s work sca ered around the room for this very popular and important subject’. We hope the Year 6’s enjoyed the taster of RE and saw what an interes ng and diverse subject RE is. Our wonderful Year 7 and Year 9 helpers did a fantas c job and are seen below in the picture!
