What a fantastic day for the Year 8 students and the teachers of Religious Education! The Year 8 Reflection Day which was led by the joyful, energetic, and talented GB Team, had the whole cohort singing and dancing as well as participating in a wide range of activities including team building, reflection, prayer, and meditation. The Year 8 students absolutely loved the day and the whole school was buzzing to the beats emanating from our College hall. We look forward to having her back at CLC next year!
We are incredibly grateful to the GB Team for their outstanding support during our Year 6 students’ Confirmation retreat. From start to finish, they created an uplifting, engaging, and spiritually enriching experience that truly resonated with our students. The retreat was thoughtfully crafted to deepen the students’ understanding of the Sacrament of Confirmation, guiding them to reflect on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how they can live out their faith in their daily lives. The music ministry was particularly moving—an inspiring and heartfelt way to bring the retreat’s message to life.
Many at our school are not practising Catholics, and many come from very little faith. However, the vigour of your music and your energy over the past months of sharing your music at school and Mass has enlivened many and opened hearts and minds to the possibility of faith. Hence, I have back-to-back Sacramental meetings to cater for this growing interest/yearning for connection to the church/faith. I attribute much of this to your music, as this is how I inspired and empowered the children to take their enthusiasm back to their families.
I want to thank yourself and your wonderful crew for yesterday. You were all truly amazing and we feel honoured that you were able to be part of our event. All of our teachers, parents and students loved what you brought to the day. Thank you for the message that you are sharing and the hope you are bringing to the world. Can't wait to have you back again.
We had an awesome day, thank you to you and the GB Team for coming out and spending the day with us...we loved it!
The band's music was amazing and created a stronger bond between me and God...Gen's story was very heartwarming and inspirational!
I would like to say it was an amazing experience and you connected with me and taught about the catholic faith you also made it fun by expressing it through music.
Gen ran two workshops at our Staff Formation Day on the last day of term three. Gen's authenticity, her love of people and of music, and the pure joy in her smile filled everyone’s spirit in a short and powerful concluding session. The CLC staff began the school holidays on a high, as we headed to our cars and sang along to her contagious song, Send us out! What a great way to finish the term and the whole day! Thank you for what you brought to our program. ♥️
Our students had a fantastic time learning from Gen, who brought such energy and inspiration through her music and stories. From start to finish, the joy on the kids' faces was undeniable. It was truly a day filled with creativity, connection, and community spirit.
The newly formed Our Lady of Pentecost Parish (3x Parish schools) has had extensive experience working, over a number of years, with Gen and GB Team for whole-day Sacramental Reflection, and Sacrament Ceremonies, specifically Eucharist & Confirmation, at designated Retreat Centres and in schools. Gen brings a deep faith commitment, integrated into her considerable musical expertise - both singing and playing both individually and with her Team. The GB Team skillfully develops and harnesses student involvement, exploring and interacting at every level. The students respond with vigor and love for their leadership and music delivery. Gen and the Team weave the stories of their faith journies into the programs offered. Gen’s music composition and grasp of liturgical music provide extraordinary and memorable experiences for our pupils. Highly recommended!!!
Our Year 9 Reflection Day with Gen Bryant and the GB Team was an inspiring and deeply engaging experience. Through sharing their personal faith stories and insights, they challenged our students to become voices of hope and justice in the world, encouraging them to live out their faith with courage and compassion. I highly recommend the GB Team to lead a retreat or reflection day with our young people.
