The apex program has been running since
term 1 with a group of year 9 boys from Mount Roskill Grammar school and
focuses on the four stages of the Circle Of Courage (Belonging, mastery,
independence, generosity) a model based on building resilience within young
people.
This year has been filled with memorable
experiences and growth for the young people involved and was all wrapped up
with a graduation camp at windy ridge camping ground in Warkworth.
There was no actual structure to the camp
but to go and reflect on the year to start looking towards the next
year. Between the typical duties there was a lot of time for us to spend
with the boys and debrief how the year has been. The camp was a success and left the
boys wishing it was a bit longer which was something to keep in for mind for
the next year 9’s. Although the camp was only overnight it was important to
have some closer to the program.
With all the boys moving on to their second
year of high school it was great journeying with them and ending the year with a
camp.
