Camps

A number of core camps are currently offered to students at various levels in the school.

Year 7 School Camp

Year 11 Camp

‘Study Skills, Team Building and Motivation Development’ camp to Melbourne.

Year 12 Study Camp

Snowsports Program

This popular program allows students from all year levels to experience skiing and snowboarding one day a week for 6 weeks during winter. It is run with valuable support from parent and community helpers.

 

Numerous other excursions and overnight trips operate via faculties eg Outdoor Education trips in Year 9/10 and Year 11 Art, Biology etc. All are seen to be very valuable learning experiences for our students.
