Well guys for saying it was the first time there was an upper school split retreat it was amazing to see how you all got on with each other! The way you went for the activity on the first night was really good to see as you just threw yourselves straight into the swing of things.

It was great to see old faces both staff and students from the Year 11 trip, and awesome to hear how you guys were getting on, not forgetting; ‘a bit of banter.’ It was also well good to meet new people and get to know you guys over the weekend.

Mass was a great celebration and you definetly impressed our parishioners! It topped off a great day (for the Derby fans amongst us) after listening to the Mighty Rams defeat the lowly Forest! Sorry just had to throw that one in there!

Overall it was a really fun weekend and I loved every minute of it!

Take care,

Dave
