Year 7 & Year 8 Retreats
On 16 June, our Year 7 students participated in a reflective Retreat Day, providing a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect and respond to this year’s Salesian Strenna theme, “Believers, Free to Serve.”
It was heartening to witness students embracing this message as they considered how they can live out their faith through service to others. We extend our sincere thanks to Lauren and Ben, our special guests, who enriched the day by sharing inspiring stories of Salesian Missions and highlighting meaningful opportunities for our students to make a difference.
Continuing with this spirit, our Year 8 students participated in their Retreat Day on Thursday 2 July, engaging in meaningful Acts of Service that brought this year’s Strenna theme to life. Through reflection, generosity and action, students discovered that living out their faith means serving others with compassion, hope and kindness.
Together, these retreat experiences reminded us that faith is lived through action. We are proud to see our young people growing into faith-filled leaders, inspired by the Salesian charism and committed to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
