Year 11 Retreat
This week, 120 Year 11 students have been on retreat in Halls Gap. The group was welcomed to Gariwerd country by Peter at the Brambuk cultural centre where they watched an animated dreaming story, telling the origins of the land we now call the Grampians.
Over the course of the three days the students have participated in large and small group sessions exploring the theme of what it means to be human. The group also made the most of the beautiful weather and spectacular scenery, bush walking, praying outside, sitting around the bonfire, celebrating a liturgy and enjoying one another's company.
Support from Charity Day to St Vincent de Paul Society
The support received from Tenison Woods College has greatly increased the stock of food at the Family Centre of St Vincent de Paul Society. Thank you to everyone who generously supported this drive, as the much needed food will assist families around Mount Gambier this winter.
Containers leftover from Founders celebrations can be collected from the Tenison Woods College Front Office or the CIM Office.
