From the Head of Year 7

Year 7 Retreat and Activity Day

In Term 2, our Year 7 students will have the opportunity to attend their Retreat and Activity Day. All parents and carers have been sent a permission slip for the day that will need to be returned.

The main objectives of the Retreat are as follows:

• Recognising that family is the first community we join, and it is here that God teaches us much about what it means to love and live with one another.
• Recognising that our school community builds on this understanding of living and loving one another as we encounter other members of God’s family and study within an environment of inspiration upon which our school community was built.
• Recognising that being one, holy, catholic, and apostolic, the Church forms the very foundation upon which we can live and share our lives in service to each other and the world.

The aim for the Activity section in the afternoon is to assist Year 7 students in developing positive relationships with their peers and will be run by our Certificate III students.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our Year 7 students to interact with their peers and get to know more about each other. It will be a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
