Year 7 Camp

Our Year 7 camps held at Weekaway Camp in Benloch last week gave students and teachers a chance to build connections and learn more about each other outside the classroom.

Students had a wonderful time trying all the different activities such as the Possum glider, crate stack and cannoning, to name a few. It was great to see students building relationships with their peers and teachers.

It has also been wonderful speaking to students about their favourite moments from camp. The group initiatives were a huge success. Students had to work together in their homeroom groups to complete an activity such as getting from one side of an area to another without falling into the “lava (made of bark)” using a skipping rope and carrying a bucket of water.

The winning homerooms received points towards the Clairvaux Shield. Different activities throughout the year allow students to earn points for their homeroom; the current tally is very close between three homerooms.

I want to thank the Year 7 Homeroom teachers and other staff who attended the camp. Without the staff support and dedication, activities such as camps cannot go ahead.
