The Rite Journey

March 7, 2019

At St Stephen’s Schools, we recognise the importance of each individual student’s personal development. The Rite Journey is a unique educational program designed to support the development of self-aware, responsible, respectful and resilient adults. The year-long program is taught to our Year 9 students where students engage in conversations about who they really are and what type of adult they want to be. The Rite Journey gives students an opportunity to reflect, discuss and develop strategies about their transition to adulthood through conversation, debates, challenges, self-reflection, journal keeping, and service to others.

LEADING SCHOOL

February 7, 2019

We are proud to have been recognised as the only Western Australian Lead School in The Rite Journey program.

The Rite Journey has now been a part of St Stephen’s School for seven years, guiding our Year 9s to become self-aware, responsible and resilient young adults.

 

 

Rite Journey – great celebration

March 16, 2018

The Year 9 students participated in the Calling and Departure ceremony yesterday morning, bright and early (5:30am) at Sorrento foreshore. The ceremony calls all Year 9 students to accept the challenge of growing up, reflecting on who they are, where they are going and how they will positively contribute to our World. This is obviously a life-long challenge, but yesterday could certainly mark a memory for them as a starting point for their introspection.

A HUGE thank you must go to Nicola Kirby for organising a breakfast feast for about 450 people down on the foreshore – all happily cooked by our house captains and the fabulous Phil Timms and Nicola Resta.

Please join me in congratulating our students on their ceremony AND the Rite Journey staff for their tireless support of our Year 9 students – Sue Libbis, Andrea Tinney, Nicola Kirby, Andre Bourgault, Clay Osborne and Bennet Andrews.

Rite Journey EBA Exhibition

September 18, 2017

The EBA exhibition is part of the Year 9 Rite Journey mentoring program. Student work with a mentor throughout the year to create a project. The project is a space for mentoring to take place.

The range of projects is wonderful to see, especially the service initiatives that have taken place.

Congratulations to all of our Rite Journey students.

Heart of Gold

September 11, 2017

Year 9 student Zac Grosser raised more than $2300 for the Heart Foundation when he ran the 12km City to Surf last month.

The race was Zac’s first ever long distance race and he did it with his uncle who has had a heart condition.

Zac raised the money as part of his EBA project for Rite Journey.

We salute you Zac!
