Breakthrough Experiences

Community and Environmental Initiatives

Year 9 is a vital time in the growth and development of boys, and last week Year 9 students took part in Breakthrough workshops and activities.

They included an Indigenous experience in Philip Island exploring the land, planting trees in the Strath Creek sustainability program, taking part in a 25 year carbon and biodiversity project, and volunteering at charities such as Impact for Women, Our Village (formerly St Kilda Mums), Care Net and Meals with Impact.

The program is designed to help students strengthen their empathy, respect and sense of responsibility and gain an understanding of who they are and who they want to become.
