This shared experience was well needed and an insightful outlet for reflection. As a year group, we were able to connect, share and bond through various reflective activities like positive affirmations and small group discussions. This outside of school experience strengthened our cohort's community spirit and was an amazing opportunity to recharge both mentally and spiritually. One of the highlights of this retreat was our collective participation in the final liturgy especially when singing ‘Shout to the Lord’ where we grew closer with our peers. Overall, Year 12 retreat was an eye-opening experience that showed us the need for togetherness and allowed us to learn more about ourselves and others.
