Year 7 Camp
Each year our Year 7 students
go to camp in the second week of Term One. Camp is an
important and fun way of getting to know each other. It
is also a good opportunity for teachers, especially Homeroom
Teachers to observe students' leadership qualities, personal
strengths and levels of participation. This allows teachers
an insight into the personalities of their new charges.
The 2006
venue is Camp Rumbug in Foster. This location provide
great accommodation, lots of food (3 meals a day plus
snacks) and heaps of things to do. Activities include:
flying fox, rope course, archery, canoeing, walks, and
team building skills.
On the last evening we have a Liturgy followed by a
concert. We leave the campsite on Friday afternoon.
A great time is had by both students and staff who have
formed new friendships and old friendships are renewed
or strengthened.
