From Boys to Men BECOMING BROTHERS CAMP The Becoming Brothers Camp held at Trinity’s Outdoor Education Centre, Camp Kelly, is a three-day, two-night experience for Year 7 boys to be introduced to the many traditions and expectations of being a Trinity College student. Through activities such as raft building, paddling, hiking, the low ropes course and night activities, students can build the skills of positivity, teamwork and patience, whilst establishing stronger connections with their fellow peers, the ‘big brothers’ (Year 11 Senior Ministers) and their Pastoral Care Group teacher. For many of the boys, the camp is their first overnight stay away from home but soon becomes an experience they will never forget, and will no doubt serve as a positive moment in their Trinity journey! Mr Corey Miskiewicz Head of Year 7
STUDENT REFLECTION My most enjoyable moment was when we finished building our raft. We put it in the water, and it started floating. When we started, we thought that our raft couldn't compare to the others, but we worked hard and won. This experience taught me that teamwork is the key to success. At camp, everyone gained a lot of experience. I learnt that everyone is important to a team and hard work is the best way to succeed. The senior mentors were very helpful and were always there to help us and the teachers. It was great to get to know them and listen to their advice. Thank you to all the staff for making camp so great. Royce Williams (7.5)
