Year 11 Retreat was held on Thursday the 15th and Friday the 16th of March and was a great success for our students.
The first day began with the Year Group celebrating Mass with the Gospel of the Road of Emmaus being read and the link with journey which was a theme throughout the retreat.
The students undertook a range of different House Groups, small group and individual reflections. There was also a link to Mark’s Gospel of Jesus walking on water and the value of faith in our lives. As well as this there was time provided for community meal times and time for friendships to continue or develop.
Year 11 should be congratulated on their great ambassadorship of the St Andrews College Community.
