Camps

Camps are a valuable part of our school’s learning program and provide a range of social and practical experiences for students. School camp allows students an excellent opportunity to build new friendships and develop social, teamwork and leadership skills, whilst trying new things. Students learn to challenge themselves and grow, through taking responsible risks. Not only does camp provide an ideal environment for students to develop their ability to think independently and understand the importance of responsibility, it’s also lots of fun. With many new and exciting experiences on offer, school camps are a fantastic addition to our curriculum, and we encourage all students to attend.
