Building Bridges Through Faith and Understanding
Last Thursday, we went on our Year 10 retreat to continue our learning and faith journey. We began with a Human Library session run by Together for Humanity, where we engaged in meaningful conversations to build respect and appreciation for people from different faiths and cultures. Next, we visited the Islamic Museum of Australia, where we learnt about Islam, including its beliefs, history and practices. To finish off the day, we toured a mosque in Coburg, where we learnt about its history and more about Islamic practices.
Together, these experiences helped us understand different perspectives, develop a greater appreciation for other cultures and recognise the importance of building connections across faiths. In the spirit of Vatican II, the day encouraged us to embrace religious diversity through dialogue, understanding and respect.
