VITA - Making Waves Excursion

On Friday 17 November, Mt Sion students in the VITA program returned to the Royal Geelong Yacht Club to participate in a sailing excursion through the Winds of Joy program. This program is an inclusive, safe space, designed to give young people with disability and disadvantage an empowering and uplifting experience on-water. A number of students participated in this program in May and the returning crew and SJC students were happy to meet again on Friday. The winds were light, so the sailing was slow, but it gave students an opportunity to participate in operating the yacht. The students learnt skills including how to raise the sail, pointing into the wind, how to avoid the markers and how to tack to change direction. Many students enjoyed being behind the helm, while other students enjoyed sitting at the bow of the yacht with the crew from Making Waves Foundation. The camaraderie and support shown amongst the group was commendable and we are proud of how well they represented St Joseph’s.
