Preparing the trainees before graduation, the Leavers Retreat is a major event for all Montfort graduates. The Leavers Retreat for Batch 23 was held in the serene and cool place of Bundu Tuhan from May 9th to 11th, 2024. It was attended by 51 trainees. One of the main objectives of the Leavers Retreat was to help participants connect with their own presence, especially their emotions, and renew their relationship with God. In order to achieve this, MYTC engaged a spiritual life coach, Mr. Derek Chong, and his team to lead the three-days, two-night retreat. A variety of topics were covered, followed by personal and group reflections, sharing sessions, and praise and worship. Mr. Derek Chong invited all participants to explore the blockages in our life, that may have prevented them from becoming the best version of themselves.
The Leavers Retreat was an invaluable experience, offering participants, trainees, and staff a valuable opportunity to pause and reflect on their current stage and future goals. It served as a wrap-up and closure to their journey at Montfort, encouraging them to carry the lessons and memories not only from the retreat but throughout their 2-years experience in the institution into their future undertaking.
