Year 12 Retreat

The 2024 College retreat program will be held at Winbourne Retreat, Mulgoa during week 6.  The students will be divided into two groups and notified of the group they have been allocated.  

 

Retreat Group 1 - Monday, 18 and Tuesday, 19 November 2024 

 

Retreat Group 2 - Thursday, 21 and Friday, 22 November 2024  

 

This is a valuable opportunity and considered one of the significant experiences for students while at the College.  Parents and students are reminded that participation in the Retreat program is a stated and agreed expectation of attendance at the time of your enrolment at the College.

 

The retreat will be facilitated by the College staff and will involve a range of experiences, designed to challenge the way students think and act.  We have engaged keynote speakers for the retreat and also speakers who will facilitate a series of workshops that students will be able to choose from to attend.  The retreat this year provides the students with choice and hence as a community we believe this will enable the students to enter fully into the experience.  They will also have time for reflection as well as preparation and participation in a celebratory Liturgy. 

 

What to bring

Students will need to bring:

  • set of sheets (or sleeping bag)
  • pillowslip
  • bath towel
  • warm clothes
  • closed in shoes
