What is Spirituality?
Spirituality is important to us as it shows us that our lives have context, outside of our everyday lives. We can see our spirituality in terms of Ows, Wows and Nows.
Ows are moments of struggle, difficulty or even pain. It may be disappointment or loss and it is here that children can learn resilience, empathy and that strength can emerge from brokenness.
Wows are moments of awe and wonder. They might be fantastic, even breathtaking and can lead to feelings of transcendence. These moments can come from achievement, success or even in art or wonder of nature.
Nows are ordinary moments are quiet times, when we are able to focus on the moment. We might have the opportunity to be mindful, reflective or pray. Nows are opportunities to appreciate the present.
We seek to find these opportunities across all aspects of school life, from within our curriculum, at play as well as when we gather.
