Senior School Character and Connections Program 2023 

Martine Walls, Dean of Character and Wellbeing 

I’m very excited to share with you the Senior School Character and Connection Day Framework for 2023.

The Character and Connection Days closely align with Kilvington’s key values and aim for students to: 

• Make meaningful connections, practise compassion and collaborate.
• Develop respect for self, each other, the environment and the community.
• Realise personal potential and spark curiosity. 
• Expand perspectives of how to positively contribute to the world. 

We are also really excited to launch a new Year 10 program –'Rise'. This new model of workshops at Year 10 are a combination of full day, half day and some shorter snappier workshops. Our House Mates Program, our Kilvington Leadership process and Connors Run will be the key drivers of this initiative. 

HOUSE MATES BUDDY PROGRAM - YEARS 7 AND 10  

Jacqui Goldenberg, Community Service Program Director

This year, we have introduced a new buddy program for our Years 7 and 10 students called House Mates. 

Students meet three times a term in their House groups - giving the Year 10s a great opportunity to develop their leadership skills and the Year 7s a great opportunity to connect with senior students.
