In the closing weeks of Term 1, our Year 12s travelled to Rutherford Park, Blampied, to participate in a three day Retreat program. Their Retreat included time spent in conversation with small groups, time spent in prayer and liturgy, and time spent engaging with guest speakers and workshops.
A significant celebration within the Retreat program was the annual Op Shop Formal. This year, the Op Shop Formal was reimagined as a fundraising event for Project Compassion, with students invited to 'purchase' their cutlery, seating and dessert for the evening meal. We were thrilled to see our Year 12s taking on the good humoured spirit of the event, and over $700 was raised through their efforts.
Another longstanding element of the Retreat was the affirmation bags that students offered to each other, and to their teachers. At a conservative estimate, at least 1500 affirmations were written over the course of the three days, totalling at least 150,000 words of positive, caring and affirming comments shared between our Year 12 community.
