The retreat includes prayer and reflection time, chapel orientation, activities focused on getting to know one another, community service hours, and an anti- bullying campaign presented by students in grades 10, 11, and 12. A lunch is provided for students for a nominal fee.

The grade 12 retreat is a full day retreat held off site for all graduating students. The focus of this retreat is to reflect on where one has come from and where God is leading each person in the future. A luncheon gives the students an opportunity for fellowship and to share and reflect on memories of the past four years. Often a guest speaker is invited to talk to the graduating class.
