Year 12 Retreat
20 February 2026
St Bernard’s College welcomed back The Man Cave last Thursday for another inspiring Year 12 retreat, helping to set our students up for academic and personal success this year.
The day kicked off with engaging activities that fostered camaraderie among students, setting the stage for a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. The theme of the day was 'To Lead and To Serve', encouraging our young men to reflect on their role in their community as they begin transitioning to adulthood.
This final retreat holds special significance for our Year 12s—in an important year filled with both challenges and opportunities, the retreat not only strengthened bonds but also provided a much-needed space for them to reflect on their journey.
The Man Cave team have established a great rapport with our students and the Year 12s enjoyed seeing some familiar faces from retreats of past years. We're very proud to be continuing our relationship with this amazing charity, dedicated to helping boys and men learn mental health strategies and deepen their emotional intelligence.
