Science & Faith Symposiums Event

During 2025/26 Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School ran a series of community events titled 'NBS Science and Faith Symposiums'. We invited students, their families, and members of our community to hear from a variety of experts in theology, science & technology, share a meal, and take part in rountable discussions and activities to reflect on the relationship between these disciplines. Our aim was to discover, dialogue, and discern together.

Overall, this innovative proposal aimed to foster a deeper appreciation of intergenerational learning and the significance of dialogue between all three disciplines. We aimed to inspire and nurture a new generation of active Christians with a well-rounded understanding of God’s Creation, no matter what career they pursue in the future. We are thankful to all the volunteers and staff that have made these events possible. We are also grateful to all our distinguished guests, friends, and NBS alumni for joining us on these evenings. Last but not least, we thank ECLAS for their generosity.
