The Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) is an amazing national event that invites young people from Year 9 to age 25 to gather and connect. Recently, three of our Year 11 students had the chance to attend the ACYF Kick-Off event organised by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools. It was an inspiring day filled with faith-based sessions, including music, discussion groups and reflection. The theme for ACYF, "Pilgrims of Hope", set the tone as students connected with peers from other schools and experienced the vibrant Church community in Australia.
