OUTDOOR

Going on a school camp can be an exciting, adventurous and eye opening experience. Primary Camps took place across Terms 1 and 2, and for many students, it was their first experience of such an adventure and of overnight stays away from home. The long awaited return of camps has allowed students to try out new activities, challenge themselves and learn about the local environment and wildlife. Students also saw evidence of human impact, such as litter, which made us appreciate the importance of responsible behaviour in nature.

The opportunity to bond with classmates and make new friends was also treasured - much of which was achieved during exciting activities such as hiking, surfing, coasteering and stand-up paddle boarding. These physically challenging tasks build resilience and confidence, and were rewarded with cosy fireside dinners and many a toasted marshmallow!

There were plenty of tired out students upon return to school and home after all the primary camps, but it was a fatigue borne from fantastic participation, determination and enthusiastic engagement!

There are many people to thank for the camp experiences this year, but the most important people to thank are the children for their incredible efforts and desires to strive for excellence. Congratulations to all students!

We are already looking forward to our next camp adventures!
