Who are our Consultants?

Consultant Practitioners are teachers and school leaders who have taught TRJ for many years and, in some cases, in many schools. They hold a wealth of personal and professional knowledge about TRJ and the practicalities of successfully implementing the program in a school. Our consultants offer real-life experience as well as a resourceful network of other experts they can call on if necessary.

Why book a consultant?

  • To reinvigorate your practice, if your school has been delivering TRJ for several years, this is an opportunity to share your practice with an expert and gain insight and feedback on what you are doing well and feed-forward on what you can be doing better

  • Specific support in any of the areas below to get TRJ working well in your school

  • To collaboratively diagnose your school’s level of delivering a successful Rite of Passage program using the TRJ Diagnostic Tool

  • As part of your application for Lead School status

You can book the following services with them:

10 hours consultation block:

This is 1:1 time with either the school’s TRJ team or coordinator.  The 10 hours can be divided in a way that suits you and the school; e.g., if you are currently teaching in a school, it may be easier to commit to 5 x 2-hour sessions after hours.   If you’re not teaching full-time in a school or have a flexible timetable, you may choose another time to get together.  These visits can take place in person or via Zoom.  We would expect this ongoing support to continue throughout the semester.

Possible areas for consultation:

  • Ceremonies: organisation, placement in the year, symbolism, parental/mentor involvement, scripts and run sheets for the day

  • Challenge program: set up, ideas for challenges, how to assess

  • Camp/Abyss experiences

  • Aligning TRJ with the curriculum/timetable

  • Staffing/Class organisation

  • Mentorship/support for TRJ coordinator

  • Use the TRJ Diagnostic tool to determine where your school is at with the 20 principles of successful Rites of Passage

  • Any other area of TRJ implementation that you would like support with

 Pricing:

$AU2,500.00 + GST per 10 hour Consultation block

These 10 hours can be used however the school and Consultant see fit.

$AU750.00 + GST  per Parent Evening

Topics and format for Parent Evenings can be discussed with your Consultant.
