Each year St Andrew's organises retreats for its residential students, often involving a spiritual theme for reflection. The retreat is usually organised by the senior students (fourth years) who arrange the practicalities (i.e. accomodation, transport, activities and games) and choose a guest speaker, often a graduate of the college, to shed light on the theme. Past retreats have taken place at Colloroy and Stanwell Tops, and have provided ample opportunity for the students to bond and enjoy their fellowship in a more relaxed setting. Retreats take place in the second semester of each year.
