The purpose of the AIM Initiative is to invite young people from other schools to engage in an enriching and rewarding experience so as to:
9.30am Arrival at St Edmund’s. Mission Session – what is our purpose and call when it comes to attending to the needs of all within our community?
10.50am Morning Tea
11.20am Immersion Session One: Investigating disability
12.20pm Immersion Session Two: with all visiting students integrated into their Buddy Class
1.20pm Immersion Session Three: lunch with St Edmund’s Buddy Class
1.50pm Advocacy Session – how to bring about awareness, impact and change that benefits those with intellectual disability?
2.30pm End of day
As an EREA School, St Edmund’s aligns itself to the Touchstones of Gospel Spirituality, Liberating Education, Inclusive Community, and Justice and Solidarity. Aspects of these Touchstones will be referenced within each session. This will help scaffold the meaning and context for the AIM Initiative, and how it supports and celebrates the many gifts and talents of our students.

The program cost for this Initiative is $550 (incl GST).
We look forward to welcoming you!
