Shining Lights, Week 7, Term 2, 2022
Retreats are an important part of the Lumen Christi experience. They are an opportunity for students to step away from the busy-ness of their daily lives and bond with their whole year group. They're also an opportunity to reflect on our Scriptural Theme - we're very blessed to be able to hold these retreats at the Pambula Surf Life Saving Club, with the backdrop of the beach easily recognisable as "holy ground".
This week Years 9 and 10 participate in their Retreat days. With a focus on steward-ship and Pope Francis' 2015 letter "Laudato Si “:Care for our Common Home", students will have opportunities to be in nature, appreciate nature and pray that we can all make decisions that respond to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
Each year primary students have a half day retreat and secondary students a full day retreat; culminating in a 4 day retreat in Year 12 at the picturesque Adventist Alpine Village. Even the College staff have an annual Spirituality Retreat Day, with this year's focus, structured around the See-Judge-Act model, also exploring the ethics and implications of "Laudato Si". |
As parents and carers, we can also benefit from taking a break, connecting with nature and reflecting on life's big questions. Perhaps this long weekend is a chance to retreat.
