    • 2012 Year 10 Retreat
      • Thursday 22 November 2012:   The Year 10 Retreat took place on Thursday and Friday, 22 and 23 November. The theme was Choices....what choices are you going to make which will affect the rest of your life? The students rotated through six widely different modules and presentation styles. These were aimed at helping them discover things about themselves, and the world out there, that will impact on their lives. In the end, it is up to these young men to make their own decisions about the choices they make, but this Retreat was aimed at providing them with the skills to make informed decisions.
