Year 11 Forum - Meaning and Purpose
Background
The concept of vocation has a very different meaning in contemporary culture. The emphasis is placed on an individualised understanding of the meaning of life, often without reference to the bigger picture. As Marists, we aim to break the status quo of relativity, re-embracing the faith of mystery and the connecting sacred. This Forum leads students to develop a discerning approach to the questions in front of them, towards answers that can give their life a sense of meaning and purpose. By approaching the future and the world prayerfully, students create an understanding that they are known and loved by a Creator who calls them to life.
Delivery:
On-site, single day program by MYM team (whole cohort, $7.50/student)
Self-facilitated program by school staff (free of charge)
