Year 9 Abyss Camps

Our Year 9 students completed the Rite Journey Abyss Camp over two days this week.

Considering all that they have learnt this year, the students were challenged to leave their comfort zone behind. Hiking, beach activities, team building games and time for reflection gave the students the opportunity to show their resilience and cooperation as well as an increased sense of self.

All the life lessons covered during Rite Journey, such as changing a car tyre, patching a hole in a wall and cooking a family meal, were preparation for this significant moment.

It was a pleasure to see the students鈥� energy and engagement in this experience. Their eagerness to fully participate and to care for each other made the Abyss a memorable and meaningful step in their Rite Journey.

Well done to all the Year 9 students for taking another big step in your journey. We are honoured to be walking with you.

Thank you to Mr Smith, Leader of Wellbeing (Year 9) and all the Rite Journey mentors who supported and facilitated this event and helped ensure the students had an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

• Shorts are the correct size and not worn lower than the hips.

• Makeup is not to be worn.
• Only one set of earrings are worn.

Year 9 Rite Journey 鈥� Abyss Camp

The Year 9 students will be taking part in The Rite Journey Abyss Camp on:

• Boys: Wednesday 5 -Thursday 6 November
• Girls: Thursday 6 鈥� Friday 7 November.

The Abyss is a one-night camp held onsite at 秀秀直播. Students will bring their overnight bag and equipment with them to school on the day they are participating; they will need to bring this straight to the Exam Centre in the morning when they arrive. The items will be locked away for the day and they will collect them at 3.15pm when the Camp schedule commences.

The camp program is designed to be a challenge for the students and will involve some physical activities. Students will be placed in situations where they are required to work together, to communicate and cooperate. Activities include:

• Setting up and sleeping in a tent overnight on the oval,
• Team challenges,
• Hiking,
• Reflection activities.

This term, students have been engaging in challenges that are life lessons and will give them a sense of accomplishment. Challenges range from changing a car tyre and patching a hole in the wall, to planning and cooking a meal for the family. These activities act as pre-cursors to the Abyss experience.

The Abyss experience marks a symbolic and significant part of The Rite Journey Program. It challenges students to step beyond their comfort zones and provides an opportunity for personal growth, self-awareness, and teamwork in an outdoor environment.

We are incredibly excited to accompany the students on this important step. Staff have been preparing a meaningful and supportive program that blends physical activity with emotional development, encouraging students to engage deeply with themselves, their peers, and their place in the world.

State Sporting Representation

Congratulations to the following students for selection in the Western Australian teams in their respective sports:

• Torah Wellman and Ashlee Kruger (Year 9), who represented Western Australia at the National U14 Hockey Championships in Brisbane October 5-11.

State and National Representation is an honour and an important stepping stone in an athlete鈥檚 journey. We commend these students for their dedication and commitment to their sport.
