The Rite Journey (TRJ) is a unique Australian educational programme designed for Year 9 and 10 students going through adolescence and supports their development into self-aware, engaged, responsible and resilient young adults. The programme combines the study areas of health and personal development, Christian Studies and physical challenge.
The Rite Journey lets our emerging young men and women experience important life lessons, created and facilitated by our caring guides (teachers) and significant adult mentors. Conceived by a committed, external educator, our Rite Journey has been customised to reflect the needs of students at Trinity and underpinned by strong Christian values and worldview.
The program provides a safe environment where students, together with their teachers and within their gender groups, examine and discuss the complexities of becoming young adults in a sometimes confusing world. The involvement and input of parents and mentors as positive and proactive role models also play a major role in the success of the journey into adulthood.
A unique feature of The Rite Journey is the seven steps that form a contemporary Rite of Passage. The TRJ team at Trinity has created a special and memorable series of events, aimed at honouring each young person’s transition into adulthood. Parents and carers are encouraged to be involved in some of these celebrations and ceremonies and share this part of their child’s journey.
