Overview
Assistant Principals and Religious Education Coordinators have a large responsibility when it comes to the faith development of both students and staff in a Catholic School. A two-day retreat offers APs and RECs times of prayer and contemplation to rekindle and deepen their relationship with God. The Spirituality of the Everyday in School Life Schools are extraordinarily busy places, with multitudes of good things happening every day. Staff are always going above and beyond. Can we recognise the sacred in the ordinary in school life? The grace filled moments in the classroom, the yard, even the Boardroom. Schools as places of meaning, purpose and hope. This retreat will explore the spirituality of the everyday in school life and will include input, conversation and reflection.
