The Rite Journey
All current year 8 parents are invited to attend an information evening for ‘The Rite Journey’ on Monday, November 18th at 7:30pm in the PAC.
This is more than a casual invitation. This is a program for Year 9 students at LCS in 2019 and is a new initiative for our school. The implementation of this program is significant for many reasons, so it is important that this session is well attended. Our partnership with your children will be further enhanced by your attendance and active participation.
Please note this meeting is for parents only. It would be ideal for all parents of our 2020 Year 9 students to attend.
Why mention this in our Herald which goes to a much wider audience than the parents of one particular year group?
Part of the The Rite Journey involves the students finding a mentor. Potential mentors are everywhere. They may be adults a student knows through sport, hobbies, interests, community or church, friends of their parents, or parents of their friends, neighbours, grandparents, extended family, teachers (past or present) and so on. So if you are reading this as an interested person in the school, it could be that one of our Year 9 students comes up to you and asks you to be their TRJ mentor. I hope that you will be willing to support this initiative as we strive to build up our young people as they find their way in God’s world, in God’s place and in God’s time.
What is The Rite Journey?
The Rite Journey is a unique educational programme designed to support the development of self-aware, vital, responsible and resilient adults. Given the current lack of Rites of Passage in the Western World, young people are left to invent their own, which are often unhealthy and unsafe.
The Rite Journey reinvents the traditional process of a Rite of Passage to assist in transforming the adolescent from dependency to responsibility.
For over 15 years The Rite Journey has been providing unique educational programs in schools and organisations designed to support the development of self-aware, responsible, respectful, resilient and resourceful adults. By raising young people’s consciousness about transitioning from child to adult & having conversations with them about what really matters we can assist in guiding their journey into adulthood.
The year-long program uses a Rite of Passage framework to deepen the students’ experience of this important life transition. Throughout The Rite Journey students explore and discover consciousness, connection, communication, challenge and celebration.
Based on real experience – The Rite Journey has been created by experienced classroom teachers, trainers and authors drawing on their successes when working with adolescents. The program has evolved over 15 years of teaching The Rite Journey, with real students and in real classrooms. Over the course of 2019, our team of teachers and support staff will deliver TRJ with an intentionality to show where God’s truth speaks into the lives and the development of the character and faith of our students.
This information session will be led by the author of ‘The Rite Journey’, Andrew Lines and staff who have been working with our team of Rite Journey teachers – Michelle Reid, Fancy Reyes-Ibarra, James McGeachy and Ryan Bosker and other key people in delivering Professional Learning for the program at LCS.
