The Year 12 Retreat, held earlier this week, gave students the opportunity to reflect on their relationships with God, others and self. Students engaged in a variety of activities including discussion, journal writing, team building, prayer and reflection. Students found it beneficial to spend time catching up with each other after remote learning. At their retreat dinner on Monday night, I gave each student a postcard thanking them for their resilience, determination and their support of one another. One day life will regain a greater sense of normality, and the Class of 2020 will look back and realise that they gained a multitude of skills well beyond the realm of any academic curriculum. The students can be proud of their achievements and the great people they are today.
