Year 11 Retreat at Tinaroo

The Year 11 Retreat was most enjoyable, and the enthusiastic participation by students was exceptional. Their feedback speaks for itself. We had a great time regardless of the cold weather and the memories we made are special to everyone who was there.  

Some comments from the boys 

"It was an entertaining, enjoyable and in-depth reflection.  I loved all sessions, particularly session 3 about being a better man."

"When the boys sung the Sub Tuum it provided an insight into what our cohort will look like next year."

"It was an amazing time spent with mates and people I can now call mates."

"It was an amazing experience and I can’t wait for next year."

"If I want to strive to be better, I must change my mindset."

"This retreat was nothing like I expected but achieved its goal wonderfully."

"The retreat was a good mix of spiritual aspects and recreational aspects.  Team building was a good test of character."

"This retreat has helped me explore who I am and the person I want to work towards being."

"Free time and the stories told by the teachers.  It takes a lot to talk about the stuff that they did and that was cool."

"The retreat was quite interesting as it helped explore myself and form lifelong bonds with others."

"Being given the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone."

"Year 11 Retreat was a good learning curve and was very well thought out."

"Getting to relax and connect with mates without the stress of school."

"Was a great experience for reflection and character discovery."

"Forming the special brotherhood bonds between all the boys on retreat and knowing only we get to experience this."

"Getting to know people I don’t really know and making memories with them."

"It was a great experience with friends and teachers." 

"It exceeded my expectations, particularly with the spiritual aspects of the retreat."
