St Margaret Ward enthused by St Cassian’s visit

In January, students from Y10 and 11 and staff from St Margaret Ward Catholic Academy set off for our first school Retreat of the Academic year. They went to our Lasallian Pastoral centre, St Cassian’s, in Kintbury, Berkshire. The students took part in a range of activities, from outdoor pursuits like archery and low ropes, to team building activities as well as prayer and reflective times.

Students and staff both returned having had a fantastic time away, here are some of the students comments about the retreat:

‘It is a good time to spend with people who are close to you and make friends with new people’

 ‘My favourite thing was the staff as they were so kind and understanding’

‘I would recommend attending Kintbury as you will enjoy activities and events and the pupils there will be the best ever making the laughs happen’

‘It's helped me find my true vocation’
