The RS department are delighted to share the work produced in their annual Spirited Arts event. Once again, we
had a large number of entrants and it was fantastic to see so many students creatively and actively engaged. We
were really impressed with the variety of the final pieces, ranging from clay models, textiles and sculpture to music
and painted canvases. As ever ,the standard of work was excellent, making selecting the short list for the National
Spirited Arts Competition a difficult job.

Who is God?
The reason we have
represented
God
as
a woman is to reflect
the idea of God being
omnibenevolent
and
the idea that she is the
mother, protector and
nurturer of life and
animals.

See where the tide takes you
For our Spirited Arts competition entry we
chose the heading
Spiritual Journey.
We selected this because we felt we
could use it to create something thought
provoking that could reflect the views and
beliefs of people’s spiritual journeys and
adventures.
The word adventures then lead us to think
of heroes and the sea.
So we used the motto from the RNLI
as our inspiration:
Let not the deep swallow me up?
Sam Eaton and Huw Paige
For our work we used the
fascinating quotation from
Arthur C Clarke: 'I don’t believe
in God but I’m interested in
her.' From this stimulus we
decided to explore our own
views of God and this then led
us to ask the question: 'Is God
ever referred to as a female
or from different ethnic
backgrounds?'

2014 themes:
Worship: What’s going on?
Who, what, where, when, why?
Spiritual Journey; God: Who
Are You?; The Golden Rule;
Heaven: Life after life?
Lots to get our students
thinking earlier in the Year ...
We are thrilled to have winners
in the competition again,
meaning that, for the past nine
Years, we have had national
recognition for our students.
Floating!
In the centre is a woman
on a cloud. The cloud
represents our lives on
earth, very fragile, often
transparent and lacking
substance. It symbolises
the woman’s spirit being
lifted to a higher plain.
She is gazing into the
afterlife.
