Our former Year 11s recently took part in the ‘Moving On’ live-in as they began a new chapter in their lives. The event was filled with meaningful discussions, reflection, team-building activities, moments of prayer, and plenty of fun! A perfect way to celebrate 11 years at our college and look ahead to the future.
A different but powerful experience is that of the Camino de Santiago. 5 young people together with fr Terence Spiteri osa walked from Portugal to Spain (200Km in 9 days). Every morning they started walking early, always with a moment of prayer and reflection. They walked about 20/30Km a day until they reached the next village where they would sleep that night to get up again the next day and …

I had been listening about this walk or rather this pilgrimage for a few years now.
