Stage 5 - Challenge


Course Overview

The Challenge wellbeing program is a school developed course designed around three foundations - Respect, Resilience and Responsibility. At this critical time in a teenager’s development, this course supports students through an encouraging mentor/ teacher relationship in a small group setting. Challenge provides opportunities for students to explore the importance of Respect, Resilience and Responsibility through activities and discussions about Identity and Character Development, Teamwork and Communication, Life Values and Godly Living.

Course Content

Term Challenges may include:

  • Push Up Challenge
  • The Challenge Sunrise
  • Teach Video Challenge
  • Life Sketch
  • The Challenge Fire Night
  • The Bungonia Camp
  • Community Service Challenge

The Challenge Celebration night

The Challenge wellbeing program is supported by the aims of the Year 9 Camp to Bungonia in Term 4. The principles of Challenge continue to be the focus throughout the camp, as the students cook for themselves, co-operate and communicate with fellow campers and encourage each other as they conquer the difficult hike up the ‘E-flux’. At the end of the year teachers, students and their parents celebrate the Challenge journey at the final Challenge Celebration Night. At this event, the students are awarded with a special memento to remember the year, as well as receive accolades from their parents and teachers for completing the program.

This wellbeing program is a school developed course and does not contribute to a student’s school reports or RoSA (Record of Student Achievement).
