Happy Families - Why create Rites of Passage?
Camps are an integral part of our teaching and learning program. They provide an important opportunity for our learners to experience personal growth, build friendships, and engage in hands-on learning. These transformative events play a crucial role in the lives of our students, acting as a rite of passage that fosters independence, resilience, and self-discovery.
A recent article by Happy Families highlights the importance of rites of passage in the lives of young people. Students can develop a strong sense of belonging by participating in such events, building meaningful relationships, and cultivating their unique potential.
At Holy Trinity, we recognize the value of camps to help our learners step outside their comfort zones through various activities and challenges and learn to work as a team. They also have the chance to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses, helping them grow emotionally and socially. Additionally, camps contribute to creating healthy communities by teaching essential life skills such as problem-solving, communication, and leadership. These skills not only benefit the students themselves but also have a positive impact on their families, peers, and the broader community.
