We experience Creational gateways at Terrace when we learn about the creation story in the bible, and when we acknowledge Indigenous culture and sense of spirituality and connection to the land.

The spiritual gateway of Activism is experienced at Terrace through our social justice programs, whether this be Eddie’s Van, immersions and explorations to Indigenous Communities, Timor Leste and schools for disabled children, our house friendship groups, or our part-taking in peaceful protests, such as the ones against keeping children in off-shore detention which the school sent representatives to last year. We are encouraged to think for ourselves and to stand up for justice and peace.

# data[].attributes.body
At terrace, Contemplative gateways of spirituality are experienced through Tuesday morning masses, school liturgies, our retreat programs and personal reflection time. We are encouraged to think about and reflect on our actions, relationships and morals, all in order to build our sense of character and to live up to the expectations of our parents, teachers and peers.

# data[].attributes.body
Relational gateways are experienced at Terrace in the sense that we are strongly encouraged to build strong relationships with one another - both in school and out of school. This is demonstrated in the All Hallows/Terrace clusters and, most importantly, the buddy program between year sevens and year twelves.

Intellectual gateways are experienced at Terrace through our academic exploration – we have state of the art learning facilities such as our library, Study Hall and honour, extension and learning support programs for students who work as exceptions to the conventional style of schooling. We are encouraged to, through our intellectual abilities, further explore and learn, so that we may thrive academically, personally and intellectually.

Creation – The creational gateway enters the realm of spirituality through a deep connection to nature and our planet, and recognises that there is something more than just ourselves – that we are all tethered to the earth on which we stand, and consequentially to one another, and that a deep sense of caring and compassion must be displayed to everyone and everything.

# data[].attributes.body
Activist – The Activist’s gateway is the one in which one discovers their own sense of spirituality and meaning through deconstructing the societal normalities and values and searches for justice, peace and equality.

# data[].attributes.body
Contemplative – The Contemplative gateway essentialises time in Isolation – with space to reflect upon one’s own experiences of life-seeking wisdom through thought, reflection and contemplation.

# data[].attributes.body
Relational – the Relational gateway of spirituality is explored through making deep connections with others and seeking beauty in everyone and everything – developing a positive relationship with every person and thing that you have access to.

# data[].attributes.body
Intellectual – Those who are participants in the Intellectual gateway of spirituality develop their personal sense of spirituality through reading and reflection, and examining ideas and concept in order to gain a sense of

spirituality.

A spiritual person is a person who takes time to reflect on their life to find both truth and meaning, and who usually lives by a code of conduct which is dictated by themselves, rather than by religion. A spiritual person knows, or wishes to know who they are and why they exist. They think for themselves, rather than relying on knowledge supplied by religious leaders.

Spirituality is both connected and disconnected from religion as a concept – Spirituality involves the search for the meaning of life, and the search for some sort of higher being. Most religious people are spiritual but not all spiritual people are religious. Non-Religious spiritual people are often referred to as secularists – the secularist spirituality does not adhere to the framework of religion, and focuses more on personal growth, whereas religious spirituality focuses on a connection or relationship with a divine being.
