What is the RISE program?
Reflect and Improve in Senior Education (RISE) is a program designed to provide opportunity for bright and motivated students. The RISE program strives to support families and young people to achieve their potential throughout Senior School and beyond. The program is underpinned by what research tells us works to develop resilience and exception attributes.
The program is designed to work with both students, parents and the school and aims to:
- Grow a culture of high expectations and rigor
- Prepare students to live and work successfully in the 21st century
- Foster social and emotional wellbeing
- Collaborate with tertiary institutions, industry and other organisations to support smoother transitions
- Develop transferable skills (work readiness/employability skills)
- Support informed decisions about future pathways.
- Provide a toolkit of study techniques and strategies to further support students through their Senior schooling journey
RISE students will participate in a number of workshops along with other like-minded students and their parents in Year 10. It is envisaged that there will be regular sessions delivered by educators from Kawana Waters State College and external agencies. Parents will be an integral part of this program.
Year 10 students interested in pursuing excellence are encouraged to apply.
