Camp Week Years 7-9

Camp Week, Years 7-9

We are delighted to report back on another successful PLC camp week! During the five days it was inspiring to see our girls practising PLC leadership competencies such as resilience, self-awareness, responsibility and collaboration.

Year 7 girls consolidated and formed new friendships while participating in a diverse program which involved two nights of sleeping in cabins and two nights in tents. Highlights included white water rafting on the Goulburn River, rock scrambling and climbing in the Cathedral Ranges and learning about Taungurung Indigenous culture.

Year 8 girls explored the rainforest and coastal ecosystems of the iconic Wilsons Promontory National Park. Sleeping in tents each night, girls participated in group cooking, surfing lessons, canoeing, and hiking.

Year 9 girls embarked on a journey to either an alpine, lake or grassland environment. Students who chose to go to the Victorian High Plains enjoyed stunning views while hiking and abseiling in this alpine region. The rock climbing and walking group spent time exploring waterfalls and the stunning orange rock cliffs of the Northern Grampians region while the Lake Eildon National Park group enjoyed bushwalks and paddling on the lake.

We are very proud of the way our girls displayed a positive mindset whilst on camp. They clearly enjoyed the benefits that Outdoor Education and time in nature provide… feelings of happiness, selfdiscovery, digital detox, renewed creativity and a strong sense of community.
