Student Reports
1st Year Student, Alexandra College
My first experience of a retreat was amazing. As soon as we walked into the room, the fun began. We danced, played games, drew pictures, listened to stories and watched some short films! Not one person had a bad word to say about it! I enjoyed every minute of the day and if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a single second of it.

When I first went to the retreat I didn’t believe in God, and the same with the rest of my classmates, but now I have started to question that. From speaking to my classmates, most of them have too. Some have started praying, others just don’t believe. I really enjoyed the retreat and got a lot out of it.The team were convincing with stories of miracles they had seen and their own journey of believing in God. I even started speaking and praying to God in hope my life would be more fulfilling. I would like to thank them for coming here, we all needed it.

Heya. I just want to say thanks. The things you said about God and Jesus and everything made me think. God has never played a huge role in my life but i’ve decided to try to change that. Thanks again

“The team had complete respect for us and in return they got our full attention, cooperation and respect. That day was one of the best school days I’ve ever had, our year all became one group of friends and the clicks were somehow forgotten.”
