! First experience at Retreat !

On Thursday 21st of May 2015, It was the day the year 8’s went to retreat.Everyone was so excited about it they started talking about it.The very first thing we did was got split into groups.I went with Rachel and Pepe in Mrs Tui’s car. The place that we went to was called” St Francis Retreat Center, at Hillsborough“.When we reached their we met Brother Philip and Josephine again.We finally settled down in the fire room.Brother Philip told us where the rooms, toilets, chapel, dining room and meeting room was, which was up stairs.

Then it was the best part.The rooms, we were paired up to sleep in one room.I was paired up with Valenisia, which was great because we had to find out what our pair’s likes or dislikes.When I got into my room I unpacked my outfits, and hung them in the closet.I opened up our windows, and the best part was.Our number room was 26, which was my birthday.When we had a organization, we went down stairs to the Chapel.I loved the first time we went into the Chapel, it just reminded me of home.The Chapel was a good place to have some peace and quite time their.My first experience at retreat was unbelievable and I couldn't believe my eyes.I loved every second of it, I loved the smell of the delicious food that were made for us and the company.I will never forget retreat.
