Siena College Camberwell - Retreats and Reflection Days

Retreats and Reflection Days

Prayer, reflection and contemplation are at the heart of our Dominican way. Each year, students and staff participate in a retreat or reflection day ‘to contemplate and share the fruits of their contemplation’ (St Thomas Aquinas).

Set in beautiful surroundings and facilitated by skilled staff and external presenters, these experiences provide an opportunity to:

Deepen our relationship with God
Develop a sense of community with our peers and colleagues
Increase our self-knowledge in the light of faith

Our programs complement students’ Religious Education studies, pastoral and priorities to provide an integrated experience of our Catholic Dominican spirituality.

Year 7 students explore aspects of our Catholic tradition, focusing on our Dominican heritage and the liturgical rhythm of our Church

Year 8 and 9 students are introduced to Aboriginal culture and spirituality. Using the expressive arts, students are invited to respond to the stories of those on the margins of our society and to walk in solidarity with them

Year 10 students engage in a Jewish immersion experience to complement their Interfaith Dialogue unit in their Religious Education studies

Year 11 and 12 students participate in workshops and forums designed to set a context for the exercise of Christian leadership and the development of a personal spirituality, culminating in a three-day residential retreat
