2018 Creative
Photography Celebration
This year, once again we gathered together as a learning community to celebrate the achievements of our learners in Creative & Contemplative Photography
On July 27th, we celebrated the incredible achievements that the children aged 7-9 years old had created with great effort and perseverance.
We continue to grow in photographic skills as well as developing life skills and adding ‘drops of confidence to our happiness buckets’.
We were very grateful once again to the Meditatio Centre in London for hosting our exhibition and our award ceremony. The exhibition runs until Friday 26th August and is open from 10.00-12.30pm and 1.30-5.00pm. Please contact the centre to ensure someone is able to open the gallery for you to visit.
We were very honoured to have representatives from the Catholic Children’s Society and from Christian Aid to join us to award the medals as well as receive over £100 in donations for their organisations.
On
behalf of the children, our advocates and everyone involved in our Creative and
Contemplative Photography sessions, thank you for supporting the really
magnificent achievements of our young people.

2018 Creative
Photographer of the Year
This year, we presented the award to a young
person who responded positively to an ordinary moment and in turn, transformed
it into an inspirational ripple for others.
It is hard to respond well all the time when
things do not go the way we would like them to go. We all want things to work
out; but sometimes it doesn’t turn out that way.
In each of our sessions, after some input,
each of the children has an opportunity to choose the objects they are going to
photograph during the session.
In one of our sessions, this young person chose
an object, but did so unknowingly that there was a significant mark on it.
This young person didn’t try and change
what they had been given, but instead saw the goodness in what they had
received. They saw something that could be transformed.
This young person reminds us what God has
planned for us.
To see the goodness in what we have
received.
To transform what has been given to us.
This young person saw the goodness in what
they had received and transformed it into a smile.
I wonder if have heard the phrase, ‘When
life gives you lemons, make lemonade’. This person inspires us to say: When
life gives you lemons, turn them into a smile.
We are pleased to announce the

Photography
In each Grade,the children have an opportunity to receive one session with a contemplative photography focus.
The children have an opportunity to nurture their spirituality through the Ignatian Tradition of imaginative prayer. They are given time to create their contemplative photographs as a response.
The images were made into prayer cards which could be purchased.
A donation was given to charities in London who support children and Christian values.
Here are a selection of images created by the children
this academic year.
