The Year 7 residential retreat takes place at Alton Castle and has always been a special opportunity for students to take time away from their everyday lives to explore and deepen their faith.
During their stay, students will take part in a variety of team-building activities. As well as this, a big focus of the visit is on personal and spiritual development, and students will participate in a variety of workshops; they will also be able to celebrate Mass together.
