We thank, and pay our respects to the tribes whose land on which we meet today, and whose land we will visit.

Issoudun Overview

Mrs Jo Bradley

Je Suis (I am) is a program looking beyond and stepping out of the school gates. It is a journey of transformation that will take students on a discovery along many pathways in the local community, city (Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne) and rural settings (country Victoria and NSW).

It is a time of making connections, inspiration, challenge, vision, courage and risk. It will foster student’s curious minds, critical and creative thinking, social awareness, independence, leadership, faith and confidence and community service (H4O –Hearts for others).

Students will gain and develop life skills that they can apply and transfer to any situations. Students will continually engage, explore, explain and extend the Big questions. Their experiences will enable them to reflect on what it means to them as well as for others and with others.
