Annual Street Retreat 2019

During the Term 3 holidays six Year 12 students attended the 3 day Edmund Rice Network 'Annual Street Retreat', at St Thomas of Canterbury College in Christchurch with Mr Mullally and Mr Thompson.

This was an opportunity for them to join with 28 other fellow ERN students and gain valuable insights into injustice, physical and mental trauma rehabilitation, community outreach service organisations, prison incarceration and Police Youth Aid work.

Their involvement and exposure to various social issues associated with poverty and injustice gave them awareness and understanding to the issues that many people face on a day to day basis in our society.
