Year 9 Retreat

Tuesday, August 26, 2025

On Tuesday August 26h, our Year 9 students participated in their annual spiritual retreat, beginning the day with a beautiful Mass.


The retreat included meaningful rotations, where the girls explored “You Are Enough” and reflected on beauty in the Bible, while the boys considered “More Than What You Do” by learning from the example of men in Scripture.


In Period 4, our Year 11 and 12 Ministry students led engaging sessions on prayer, confession, sainthood, and Christian living.


The day concluded with an inspiring presentation from Ms Athaide, leaving students encouraged and strengthened in their faith journey.


Student Reflection

The girls group focused on self-worth, identity, and our relationship with God. We were reminded that we are enough, just as God created us. We read Bible verses that spoke about how God made each of us perfectly, with love and purpose. We spoke about how social media can distort our view of reality and make us feel like we’re not good enough, but the truth is that our value comes from God, not likes or filters. One of the activities we did was the Compliment Web. Using a ball of yarn, we gave each other meaningful compliments and passed the yarn around, creating a physical web of connection. We also looked at the inspiring story of Blessed Chiara Badano We read some of her quotes and chose our favorites, then shared why they spoke to us. Her words helped many of us feel inspired to grow in our own faith and to live with a similar strength and love. Overall, this retreat helped us feel more connected, not just to each other, but to Jesus. - Maria K
