Our Year 12 students and staff have been enjoying perfect summer conditions for their Retreat being held at Gunn's Bush Camp. The Beatitudes have been a focus for reflection as students take some time to look at their talents and consider how effectively they are using them in their lives and the life of the school. Group discussion and a number of enjoyable ice-breakers have given Year 12 an opportunity to prepare for a rewarding year. The Retreat commenced with Mass on Sunday afternoon, with Father Wayne using Sir Edmund Hillary as an example of persistence and resilience in his homily. He challenged us all to set lofty goals and to have the heart to keep trying to achieve them. Thank you Fr Wayne, our committed staff and those parents and whanau who attended the Mass and have helped with the delivery of this important Special Character event. Your support is critical to the spiritual dimension of the College.
