Read a few comments from those who have participated in these meditations
The meditation journey has made me REVITALISE, REALISE AND RECHARGE my vocation as a teacher. I am ‘feeling’ so much more FULL-FILLED as a teacher spiritually now …
- deputy principal in Catholic high school and parent
The relevance of these Meditations to today’s teaching environment on the whole cannot be challenged.
- young high school teacher
It has reinforced my understanding of teaching as a ministry, and the importance of responding to the spiritual needs of each of my students.
- experienced teacher and parent in Catholic girls’ high school
It reminded me to set time aside to just listen to God and give myself quiet time to reflect on life and teaching.
- young teacher in Catholic primary school
The course has helped me to structure a time of prayer and reflection into my day. This has been a huge benefit to me. I often felt that it was selfish to do this, but now I understand the necessity for this, and to be more open in my conversation with God. I think this prayer and time of reflection has made me more centred, and more patient.

The Meditations have encouraged me to revise my thinking about the student/ teacher relationship.
