Research process
We did this research because we use meditation as a form of prayer in our classroom. A lot of people outside of our school were interested in what we were doing. We then decided to investigate what was special about our school that allowed us to use meditation as prayer. We are a Catholic school.
We decided to investigate the history of our school, our church and our Miramar community and see the relationship between everything.
We interviewed people who had experience of our school, church and local area and asked them questions. We used books and the internet to carry out research. We did a heritage walk around our school as well.
