Practical Elective for Year 10 2022 - Youth Ministry Class and Homeroom

At SJPC, we have a unique program available to our Year 10 students. Students can choose to continue to study Catholic Studies, or they can apply for the Youth Ministry elective. This class forms one of the 2022 Year 10 homerooms. Although there is some bookwork involved in Youth Ministry, the majority of the learning experiences are of a practical nature. Students will learn how to share the person and teachings of Jesus Christ through drama, music, testimony and engaging prayer experiences. Youth Ministry students lead small retreats in local primary schools and help run the Year 5 and Year 6 diocesan retreats (Exuro and Incitare). Seeing students grow in faith and confidence, through their time in this elective, has been a definite highlight of my teaching experience.

Year 9 students have been aware of this opportunity since the beginning of last week. Applications were due to close today, but are extended until next Friday (10th September).

I would like to particularly encourage Year 9 boys to consider this opportunity because in my experience, boys are often hesitant to choose this elective initially, but for those who do take the leap, I have seen huge growth from them as the year progresses.

For more information, including application instructions, please refer to these Google Slides. If you have any further questions, please contact me via email.
