A School Retreat is your chance to do what you always wanted to do, take a day off from school and do as you please. It is a chance to step back and have a look at your life and all that is going on there for you. School retreats are usually carried on at a location other than your school setting so that you can get out of the school mode.

Conducted by experienced leaders, a programme is put together for the day that responds to the needs as expressed by you on a questionnaire that is completed before the retreat begins. Through art, writing, music, discussion and prayer, various topics are covered which bring new questions and insight to the participants. Topics covered include; ones personal story, relationships, values in life, decisions, Meditation, ones faith journey, the future?, etc.. In all of this, great fun is had by all and it really is a day that one remembers for years to come.
