Peer mentoring is achieved at St Norbert College through the QUEST Retreat, which fosters genuine pastoral care through a ‘buddy’ system in which the Year 11 Quest Ministers ‘adopt’ three little brothers or sisters. Each Quest Minister takes full responsibility for his/her three ‘little brothers or sisters’ over the course of a weekend, which includes leading small group activities as well as welcoming their little brothers or sisters into their home.

The QUEST Retreat is an important way of introducing our new Year 8’s to the St Norbert College Community and philosophy. This unique, special event builds community and friendship among the Year 8 class, and exposes incoming students to the lived culture of faith in God within the St Norbert College community.
