This year marked the 16th annual pilgrimage to ‘Stinson Campground’ with 36 camp participants. Upon arriving at camp and pitching tents, the boys readied themselves for the Stretcher Bearer Track. They powered their way to the final location, transporting additional equipment for a special construction activity. The boys learnt more of the significance of the walk and the special place it now holds for them. They recited a special pledge and wrote their names into the ‘Leadership Honours Book’ hidden in a stone cairn placed there by Boys Ed camp participants many years ago. On day 2, a 19km hike was undertaken. Despite a hard push the day before along the ‘Stretcher Bearer’ many of the boys showed great resolve and stamina. A couple of farm fencing contractors working along the path also stopped myself and Mr Fryer to comment on how impressed they were with the attitude of the students that had passed them and had a chat. At night, the boys participated in night games, discussed a number of issues around the camp fire, played guitar and cooked damper. Day 3 began with an early breakfast before packing up camp. As the tents dried out the boys participated in a number of team, trust and leadership activities led by a number of our Year 10 Senior Leaders selected by the teachers on the camp. After packing the bus, lunch was enjoyed at the Rathdowney Café before the final leg of the journey home.

I would like to thank all the boys for making this camp one to remember. A special thanks to our Year 10 cohort who were outstanding in their leadership and mentoring. Thank you to our staff: Mr Clarke, Mr Ellis and Mr Fryer for their guidance, care and support in making this a worthwhile and fun experience for our students.

That’s a Job?

WHITE HAT HACKER What do you think of when you hear the term "hacker"?

Dark room? Multiple monitors? Extortion? Viruses?

Did you know hackers can also be the good crew? Companies and governments pay people to test their security on a daily basis. By finding weaknesses in networks or software ethical hackers can offer recommendations about how to improve products or security.

Young People and Risk Taking

Risk-taking is an essential part of learning and personal development for young people. Teenagers need to explore their own limits and abilities, as well as boundaries set by others. They also need to express themselves

as individuals. It’s all part of their path to becoming independent young adults, with their own identities1.

Unfortunately, the risk involved in different activities and settings can often be poorly judged by young people and they are over represented in every category of risk-taking resulting in injury and trauma. For more information about the different types of risks for young people, see http://www.kidshelp.com.au/grownups/news-research/hot-topics/risk-taking.php .

The RRISK Program aims to reduce risk-taking behaviour associated with alcohol and drug use, driving and partying amongst year 11 students in northern NSW. Attending RRISK extends the school based drug education and road safety curriculum by providing opportunities for senior high school students to further develop knowledge, attitudes and skills to reduce risk taking and develop safer celebrating strategies.

Over 4,300 students from more than 62 high schools from Port Macquarie to Tweed Heads have registered to attend one of 9 RRISK Seminars. If you have a year 11 student in your family, encourage them to attend.

Research shows that RRISK is effective in reducing young driver crashes by 44%

The largest study ever undertaken into young driver behaviour was conducted by the George Institute of International Health and published in 2009. Researchers consider RRISK a best practice program because it builds resilience by equipping young people with strategies and practical skills to manage risks in their social life and on the roads as drivers and passengers.

Look for information about the RRISK Program on the RRISK website www.rrisk.com.au and in this newsletter over the coming
