Yr 11 Retreat

28th April-30th AprilIn 2026 we need to change the format of the Year 11 Retreat slightly. With the late inclusion of the ANZAC Day public holiday, we were unable to secure a second night at the St Clement’s Retreat Centre, Galong. The Retreat will still run for 3 days Tuesday-Thursday with the students spending Wednesday night at home and coming to school on Thursday for the final Retreat Day, which will involve service activities at school and in the wider community.SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: “Whatever a person is sowing, this they shall reap”Galatians 6:7AIM OF YEAR 11 RETREATThe aims of this retreat are for students to:Opportunities for reflection and extension of one’s personal faith or spiritual journey.Opportunities to get to know peers in new ways, building relationships and bonding experiences.Time out to examine self and ways of relating to self, others and God.Opportunities and strategies to assist students during the next 18 months.To provide Year 11 students and Staff, the opportunity to experience God’s love in Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist Unpacking of the theme for 2026-Living Faith: Loving and Serving Others. Service Learning ProjectsLocations: St Clement's Retreat and Conference Centre, Galong(Tuesday-Wednesday)Cowra-Thursday Tuesday 28th April9:00am Depart School10:30am Arrive Galong10:30: MORNING TEA & ORIENTATION11:30am Session 11:00pm LUNCH2:00pm Session 24:00pm AFTERNOON TEA & FREE TIME6:00pm DINNER7:00pm Session 3Wednesday 29th April8:00am BREAKFAST & PACK UP9:00am Session 411:00: MORNING TEA11:30am Session 51:00pm LUNCH2:00 Session 64:00pm DEPART 5:30pm Arrive CowraThursday 30th April9:00am Service Learning Session 110:30am MORNING TEA11:00am Service Learning Session 212:30am LUNCH1:30pm Service Learning Session 33:10pm Conclude Uniform: students are to wear appropriate mufti with closed in shoesFood: all food providedWhat to Bring: Clothes etc for 2 days, toiletries, medications etc
