RITE Journey Program

At FCJ College, we recognise that adolescence can be a challenging time for our young people. They must navigate a world where they are bombarded with conflicting messages from the media, social-networks and their peers about what it means to be an adult and how to find their place in our world.

As such, we’re thrilled to share with you FCJ College’s partnership with the Rite Journey from 2025 onwards. The Rite Journey program partners with families in helping our students navigate the journey into adulthood. Through class activities, discussions, challenges, a mentoring program and the Year 9 camp, we seek to equip students to be confident, capable and compassionate young adults. Each stage of the journey is marked by a memorable event to honour your child’s transition to young adulthood.

The first such marker will be held on February 17th 2025 at FCJ College from 5pm, with the Calling and Departure Ceremony. As this is the initial step in the Rite Journey, we are hoping that families will prioritise this event and mark it in your calendars now to avoid missing out.

We will also take this opportunity to share with you some information about this program, how we seek to partner with you in providing this pathway for your daughters/sons into adulthood, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the staff involved
