Year 9 Youth Village Retreat

by Victoria Peleva, Year 9

At the end of November, Year 9 students travelled to the Emmaus Youth Village for a time of reflection on the theme of ‘choices’. One of the activities was a debate between everyone on the topics of social media, happiness and choices we make. For our final activity we chose between a dance, drama or art workshop, then performed or showed our work at the end. The whole retreat was a fantastic experience as we spoke to people we wouldn’t necessarily talk to in our busy school lives and had an incredible time full of many memorable experiences.
