Camping

Why have camps?

Camps provide the students with the opportunity to:

  • Extend their intellectual and social development in an outside school environment experience socialisation, group cooperation and independence.
  • Take part in challenging activities that require decision-making and self reflection on consequences for both themselves and others.
  • Develop personal qualities such as resourcefulness, leadership, tolerance and determination.

Where do camps take place?

Camps are conducted in Years 6-3, where students will spend at least two nights away. Students in Year 2 will have a sleepover at school, the Year 1 students take part in a movie night and the Prep students get to enjoy an early morning breakfast to gradually introduce them to the camp experience.
