Holy Spirit College, Edmonton Campus

The serenity at Lake Eacham never disappoints. 🌿💙

Our young people had an amazing day enjoying the crystal-clear water, splashing around with friends, and keeping an eye out for the local wildlife. We spotted plenty of fish and even a few turtles… but no friendly freshwater crocs! 🐢🐟

The day was filled with fun games, laughter, and topped off with a delicious burger lunch. Safe to say the drive up the range was well worth it! ☀️🍔

A variety of activities were on offer for our young people today!

Two popular sessions included a double Outdoor Education trip to Ivan Evans 🌿 and a cooking session where young people made their own sausage rolls.

From building confidence and teamwork outdoors to developing practical life skills in the kitchen, it was great to see everyone engaged, learning, and having fun 😊.

Ball games are always a favourite during break times at college! 🏐

It was fantastic to see our young people coming together to build their volleyball skills, encouraging one another, welcoming anyone who wanted to join in, and even getting mentors involved. A great example of teamwork, inclusion, and having fun while staying active!

The wet weather didn’t stop us from making the most of our adventure at the Botanic Gardens yesterday! 🌿☔

We were welcomed by the rhythmic sounds of live drumming before spending time exploring the nature playground. The group then chose between a peaceful walk around Centenary Lakes or the challenge of tackling the Red Arrow track.

Both walks gave our young people the opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest, and take in the many sensory experiences the gardens have to offer. A wonderful day of exploration, movement, and appreciation for the natural world! 🌱✨

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated our Feast Day, with young people and their families coming together to collaborate on a special artwork.

Today, we began peeling away the glue to reveal the Holy Spirit dove, creating the illusion of moving fire and air. Our young artists are still adding the finishing touches, bringing the dove to life piece by piece.

We can’t wait to see the completed masterpiece and proudly display it on campus for our community to enjoy. 🕊️🔥

What a day up at Granite Gorge 🌿☀️

Our young people took on the trek up to the Tablelands. They engaged in feeding the famous rock wallabies, holding reptiles and birds, cooling off jumping in the creek, and enjoyed singing and laughing together. A day full of adventure, connection, and memories made in nature 💚
(Too busy swimming for any photos 🏊)

This Wednesday’s excursion is up the hill to Granite Gorge! 🌿

We’ll be leaving college shortly after 9am to make the most of our day there. Young people will have the opportunity to enjoy a range of activities including walking, wildlife encounters, and possibly even a swim.

We look forward to seeing everyone at college by 9am on Wednesday for another great day of adventure!

A sunny day spent exploring a creek many of our young people had never visited before 🌿☀️ Floating down the water, climbing trees, skipping rocks, and soaking up the sunshine made for the perfect adventure-filled day. Sometimes the best memories are made in the simplest places 💦🪨🌳
