RIDS - Form Report

RIDS is a mentoring group recognised for always been filled with a bunch of characters. It is evenly mixed with students from all age groups and all different walks of life. The student’s interests ranged from the elite gaming to becoming future sporting superstars. A highlight for the year in this mentor class was the market day. This gave the boys an opportunity to create a stall and successfully raise money towards the school. The team did extremely well, raising over $120.00.

The mentor challenge afternoon was another highlight as our group of young men dominated in every competition, proving the skill and team work within the group. Also great to see students of different age groups working together on team challenges. This year a RIDS stalwart was in his last year at the college. Jack Hurley has been the spine of RIDS for a number of years. His energy in the morning and constant encouragement to get juniors involved in STC activities will be solely missed. We wish him the very best in his future. It is great to see our new students (Jack Sjerps, Jonte Hanson, Litala Fofoa, Epati Auvae and Aubrey Gilmour) mixing with the rest of the group and forming very positive relationships.

I wish the group a safe and happy holiday, it has been an awesome year and I look forward to picking up where we left off.
