Personal and Spiritual Development PSD classes throughout the year will make reference to the skills, knowledge and behaviours that are discussed during the three week live-in program. PSD classes in Years 10, 11 and 12 will further develop the ideas and concepts introduced during the live-in program.

Kooringal The skills, attitudes and behaviours that are presented and explored in the three week live-in program will also be reinforced during the Kooringal visit and PSD lessons. Boys will attend Kooringal in their House groups. Some boys will attend Kooringal before they participate in the three week live- in program, this will in no way disadvantage their learning. Kooringal staff will be fully aware of the content of the three week live-in program and how to make the connections for boys to grow their skills in these areas.
