CURRICULUM

Year 7 and 8 Camps Year 7 Camp 2021 In March, the Year 7 students participated in the Orientation camp at Valley Homestead situated at Ovens in regional Victoria. Over the course of four days they had many opportunities to develop a range of adventure skills such as climbing and abseiling, a vertical challenge, dual Flying Fox, ropes courses and creating group rafts. But on a less energetic scale, they were also able to enjoy some down time with an Art session, an evening of bushing dancing, a night walk, a pool swim and a movie on the final night. It was a time when they had to face physical challenges yes, but in doing so, also grow in their own personal development and confidence. Many worked co-operatively and supported each other; forging new friendships and connections along the way. By the end of the camp the girls were exhausted, but happy with the memories of the laughs, fun times and experiences shared with many new friends.
