Year 11 Retreat
Our Year 11s recently travelled to Rutherford Park, Blampied to participate in their overnight retreat. We were blessed with splendid late autumn sunshine for the duration of the event, which was itself good cause for gentle joy. The retreat began with a “pilgrimage walk” along the Campaspe River trail in Kyneton, with our Year 11s invited to consider the long and ongoing connection between the Taungurung and Dja Dja Wurrung peoples and the river system. A highlight from the retreat was time spent in conversation (and song!) with soul music artist Adrian Eagle. Adrian spoke with our Year 11s about the courage to seek support and to keep going during challenging times, and the wisdom that he shared became a point of conversion in the small group sessions that took place later in the program. At all times our Year 11s entered into the spirit of each element of the retreat program, and they are to be commended for their conduct in this regard.
