Rite Journey Challenges Begin

The team-building skills of Year 9 students were put to the test last week when they began the first of many challenges as part of the Rite Journey program.

Students worked on balance, coordination, focus, leadership, resilience, perseverance, active listening, consideration for others, and self-reflection in the Stave Challenge.

They took part in a Bothmer Gymnastics session, a method of spatially oriented exercise that enhances movement skills through sports, games and gymnastics.

The Rite Journey program is designed to support the development of self-aware, responsible, respectful, resilient and resourceful adults. There are many physical, emotional, social challenges throughout the year-long program.

Students are encouraged to reflect on each challenge by considering how they dealt with it, how they cope with success and failure and what they learnt from it.
