We had our annual retreat yesterday in Maynooth University. For the last 3 years we have had our retreat in 'St Raphaels' which is a local centre so it was really nice to do something different. One of the best things about this retreat was that it had a different approach to the previous years. As usually the retreats were about your faith but this time it was more about voicing our opinion on the world and reflecting on our lives.
Were not really allowed to talk about what we did in the retreat as it's confidential not even the teachers are allowed to know, hence the code 'they're lovely' is our response when asked abut the retreat. ;)
At the beginning of the retreat we played leap frog (which I was very overly excited about ) and then we played this came called the weakest link. We were all teeth and there were four dentist and we all had to link arms and not let the dentists pull us out of the circle. It was so much fun and we all turned into savages literally... I WAS DRAGGED ACCROSS THE FLOOR BY MY FEET still holding onto Emma :') We then had a break and of course we all went to 'Starbucks and hot chocolate and coffee which was gooddddd :))))
Afterwards we split into groups and we were faced with questions that we had to discuss and answer within the group. We then all talked about the different questions and scenarios and voiced our opinion to the whole year group. It was really interesting to hear different peoples point of you and I really enjoyed this part of the day. It was funny as we all turned into lawyers at a court case as we all had very strong views and answers.
Before we knew it, it was time to go home. The day had gone really fast and we all got back onto the bus and Michaela and I made snapchat stoirs and blared Taylor Swift the whole way back to school :)
*Oh and the people who ran the retreat were actually really lovely ;)*
