The Prep School hosted Old Boy Alex Richter (OKG20) for our bi-annual Ride With Richter fundraiser, to support SpinalCure Australia’s impactful neurostimulation research.
Alex shared his story of resilience, community, courage and curiosity; and took part in a Q&A facilitated by Jesse (Year 6).
Mr Jared Rastall (Director of Student and Staff Experience at Prep) linked Alex’s experiences to the Knoxigations units studied throughout the Prep School. These included technology modifications in Year 3’s ‘Purpose Influences Design’, medical research in Year 4’s ‘Individuals Can Create Key Turning Points in History’, and the concept of ‘Diverse Designs Create Liveable Cities’ in Year 5.
Afterwards, Prep students enjoyed a sausage sizzle lunch, and we look forward to the biking component of Ride With Richter (which was sadly postponed due to rain.
