The Chaplain, Vicki Gibson, organised a weekend retreat for 22 girls at historic Ufton Court which was led by Jude Haste, their Head of Drama. The theme was 'Fun and Faith' and it offered a wonderful chance for the girls to discuss their beliefs and experience periods of quiet reflection and contemplation together with plenty of opportunities for friendship and fun (including archery and cooling off with water games!)
The values focussed on were Gratitude, Humanity, Forgiveness, Respect, Patience, Trust, Benevolence
The weekend made a real impact on the girls:
I’ve never really had the chance to think about and discuss the topics brought up here. It’s been an enlightening experience.
a real sense of community and friendship
it was good being able to have time to think on your own, as well as to enjoy the nature around us
