Year 7 Transitus Retreat

Thank you to Mr Cameron McKee for accompanying a group of Year 7 students to the recent Transitus Retreat. I refer you to Mr McKee's report below.

Seven intrepid SJRC students ventured to Yarrahapinni for the Year 7 Transitus retreat.

This retreat was the second for the Lismore Diocese and the students were drawn from the Southern end which included students from St Joseph’s Regional College Port Macquarie, MacKillop College Port Macquarie, St Pauls College Kempsey, Macauley Catholic College Grafton, and St John Paul College Coffs Harbour.

Kate Nestor, from the Catholic Schools Office-Lismore, facilitated the two days as Year 7 students participated in a range of activities related to the theme of the retreat: ‘Take Heart, it is I. Do not be afraid’. Aided by Year 10 students, the participants were challenged to reflect on their recent transition into high school.

The retreat was a great success with lots of smiles and laughter as many students formed relationships with other students from throughout the Diocese.
