Senior Retreat
Last week, Year 11 were able to participate in their Senior Retreat entitled "What's in a Name?" It is inspired by the story of Jacob wrestling an angel in Genesis 32. To ensure that we were able to facilitate this most important spiritual experience, the Retreat was held here at the College on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 October.
Due to COVID, the Retreat program had to be modified. The students still enjoyed the core elements including, names, one on one interviews, the Beatitudes affirmation session, listening to a God-Good story,and the creation of a group songline poster.
It was so important for them, as the PA groups had been reshaped from 14 to 16 groups, thus providing a great chance to further getting to know each other.
Some comments from Year 11:
- It was spiritual - Charlene

I take this opportunity to thank the facilitators Mr Pletikosa and Ms Tooogood, as well as the staff who facilitated the small group sessions.
