Year 9 Rite Journey Underway

Our annual Rite Journey Calling and Departure Ceremonies for Year 9 students have been scheduled for Thursday 11 March (girls) and Thursday 18 March (boys).

The Rite Journey is a unique educational program designed to support the development of self-aware, respectful, resilient and resourceful adults.

It acknowledges an adolescent's transition from dependency to responsibility, from childhood to young adulthood. The Calling and Departure Ceremony is a symbol of this transformation.

As preparations for the ceremonies begin, Year 9 students are creating talking sticks. Each homeroom will have one stick to be used by students when they wish to speak to the class.
