The Homecoming for Year 9 students

The Return and The Homecoming ceremonies are scheduled for Thursday 19 November commencing at 5:30pm (Burke Drive and Point
Walter Amphitheatre).
Parents of Year 9 boys should have received an email outlining the details. Please contact the College as a matter of priority if you did
not receive this very important communication.
The ceremonies will use symbolism to highlight the boys coming home from their journey and receiving the blessing and support of their
Parents, Mentors and College as they return wiser and willing to continue their journey towards adulthood. The evening has been planned
to involve the boys, their parents and their particular Rite Journey Teachers. While the respective Adult Male Mentors are most welcome on
the evening, their presence is not essential.
The boys are required to wear smart casual clothes respectful of the occasion (eg dress jeans, collared shirt or smart polo no shorts or T
shirts). The evening will conclude at approximately 7:00pm. It is hoped that this time-line may provide an opportunity for some families to
share a coffee/meal with their son in recognition of his Rite Journey this year.
We look forward to a successful evening and a conclusion to the Rite Journey.

Young Australia League scholarships

Applications are closing soon for the inaugural year of the YAL JJ Boss Simons charitable endowment trust scholarships. Scholarships of
up to $12,500 are available to successful applicants aged 12 to 25 years. Unlike traditional scholarship opportunities which can be highly
specific in their focus, with the new YAL scholarships, students can apply for funds for all manner of items including tuition fees, specialist
courses, home tutoring, books, equipment, and even travel & living allowance.
For a swift and easy online application process please go to www.yalscholarships.org.au. Should you require further information please
email tschaper@yalscholaships.org.au.
Leeuwin gears up for a new sailing season

The Leeuwin is back out on the ocean after her annual refit and maintenance period and all geared up for a new exciting season of voyages.
We have had an influx of applications for the remainder of 2015 and now have waiting lists for these voyages, but would like to spread
awareness of our 2016 programme that includes three summer school holiday voyages, a journey down south to Busselton and our April trip
up to the iconic Monkey Mia.
We would also like to share with you the chance to save $120.00 on the fare by booking any 2016 voyage for the 2015 price of $1,980 if you
book before the end of the year.
A Leeuwin voyage is a life-changing experience, teaching participants key skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership through the
unique medium of a traditional tall ship. Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 can earn five WACE points towards their senior graduation and can
use the voyage as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award or Queens Scout Award.
Although there have been some changes in our scholarship programme, we continue to be supported by many local service clubs, businesses
and local governments who are willing to support financially disadvantaged youth. However, scholarships are not unlimited and we
recommend that anyone looking to apply sends their application in as soon as possible. For those seeking to raise the voyage fare themselves,
we have also developed a fundraising pack full of ideas and tips to help them achieve their goal.
For more information and to see our voyage programme for 2016, please visit our website www.sailleeuwin.com. Alternatively you can
contact our team on 9430 4105 or by email at office@sailleeuwin.com.
