The Grade 8 Retreat was established here in the school so that students attain the life long virtues of trust and teamwork while getting to know the other students in their grade and make some new friends. I was able to catch up to a couple of grade 8s after school and ask them about the activities. I was also able to find one of the student volunteers for the Retreat and get her opinion on it.
Simran, grade 8
D: So what did you think of the Grade 8 Retreat?
Simran: I thought it was fun. It was kinda awkward doing stuff with people I didn't know, but I had fun.
D: What do you think is the best part of the Retreat?
Simran: I think the best part was the games in general. They were really fun and I had a great time playing.
D: If there was anything you could change, what would it be?
Simran: (Laughs) I know this is really random, but I'd love it if there was a magic show.
D: (Laughs) Magic is always nice! Anyways, thank you!
Simran: No problem!
Jessica, grade 8
D: Did you have fun at the Grade 8 Retreat?
Jessica: Yeah! It was fun.
D: What were some of the highlights from the event?
Jessica: Well, there was this game where people had to eat through a TON of whip cream to get to um... I think it was candy? And then they had to eat all the candy and the fastest person to do it won.
D: Wow! That sounds fun!
Jessica: (Laughs) It was.
Suesha, grade 11
D: So you helped out, correct?
Suesha: Yeah, I did.
D: What are some of your highlights?
Suesha: Well, it was tiring keeping up with the grade 8s. They're really full of energy so it was tough. But all in all I had a lot of fun with them.
D: Anything in particular that you'd like to mention?
Suesha: (Laughs) Why are grade 8s so energetic? Where do they get that from?
D: (Laughs) Maybe it's in their youth.
Have anything you'd like to add? A fun experience? Something I forgot to mention? Any feedback for next year's Grade 8 Retreat? Comment below!
