The Year 7s experienced their first retreat on Friday, and said it was a blast! It was held at the Korean church just around the corner from the school, and was run by a group called Logos. The company organised many activities and games for the Year 7s to play, that were exciting and educational.
Many of the activities were fun to play and to learn about, as they involved cooperating with other students while still maintaining their religious values. The activities included acting out the life of Jesus and how it would look like in the present, making crests based on the students personalities, and making personalised bookmarks based upon scriptures. “There was so much to do!” said one Year 7.
Overall the whole experience of the retreat for the Year 7s was an inspiring and educational encounter, as it drew them closer to understanding Christ and his teachings, while still bonding and making friendships with their peers.
In the end, the Year 7 retreat was a success with many educational and religious teachings, and the students throughly enjoyed their first retreat experience at Sancta Maria College!
