Loreto Toorak Camps

In Week 7 of Term 1, students from Years 6-8 departed for their respective camps. As the morning sun lit Winifred Square, the buzz of excitement and activity grew among the students who gathered in their year levels, waiting expectantly for the bus to drive them away for the week.

Year 6 students set off to the airport, bound for Canberra with trips planned to Parliament House, the National Electoral Education Commission, the War Memorial, Government House and Questacon. Parents stayed to watch the bus pull away from the kerb; the students eagerly anticipating the new learning opportunities afforded to them while in our nation’s capital.

Our Year 7 students departed for Anglesea, bags packed with everything they needed for an action-packed schedule that included zip-lining and skateboarding. Each student grinned with glee as they waved their goodbyes to family members.

The Year 8 cohort were keen to begin their outdoor education experience, having heard so much positive feedback from their peers in Years 9-12. With sleeping bags slung over shoulders and clothing enough for any type of weather, the students clambered aboard the bus ready to face the challenges offered by this much-loved Loreto Toorak camp.

Year 4 students headed to Jack River early in Term 2. Acitivities included archery, zip-lining and lots of fresh air and exercise. The courage, curiosity, and teamwork of our students shone throughout the three days.
