Year 12 Crosslands Retreat

Secondary News - Nov 25, 2022

The Year 12 Retreat at Crosslands Youth and Convention Centre provided an opportunity for the new Year 12 cohort to reconnect and refocus for the year that is ahead. The beautiful surroundings were enjoyed by students and staff alike, with many opting in to the sunrise walks with Mr Kunz to take in the scenery. We were grateful to have Dr Jason Hinze, from Avondale University, come and share a session on motivation, wellbeing and goal setting; it was full of great tips to help with the busy year ahead. Afternoons were filled with a variety of activities including kayaking, volleyball, the swimming pool with a giant inflatable obstacle course, and team sports. The Music Trivia Quiz is always a highlight, with some surprise talent and lots of laughter and fun. Students opened letters of love and support from their families, leading into an emotional time of reflection and gratitude during team worship on Thursday evening. The final day of the Retreat saw the group pack-up and clean in record time, and head to Treetops Adventure Park for some zip-lining fun.  Some faced fears, others were focused on getting through the courses in record time, but everyone had fun! A tired but happy group of students returned to school on Friday afternoon.
