Year 7 Camp
Our annual Yr 7 Camp is coming up soon in Week 8.
Camp is a wonderful opportunity for our Yr 7 students to celebrate the first year of high school with their peers before they move in to Step Up and Activities for the rest of the term.
Students spend 3 days/2 nights at Roses Gap Recreation Centre in the Grampians National Park where they partake in fun and challenging activities that are designed to build resilience, confidence and team-work.
For a sneak peak of the camp activities & facilities go to https://www.rosesgap.com.au/
Camp runs on the following dates:
7A-&7D – Monday 21st November- Wednesday 23rd November
7E-&7H – Wednesday 23rd November- Friday 25th November
Cost: $350 (Payment can be made on Xuno. Specific financial arrangements can be made with our Finance Manager, Katrina Robertson).
Students will receive camp information packs next week containing Parent Excursion Consent Form, Medical Information Form, Asthma Plan and a checklist of what to bring. These forms need to be returned to the Junior School Office by Friday 11th November.
Students will also have time in Connect next week to make cabin requests.

Year 8 Excursion
On Tuesday 11th October, Yr 8s attended the Live4Life Celebration at Braemar College along with Yr 8 students from other participating schools in the Macedon Ranges. It was an opportunity to wrap up the Live4Life Youth Mental Health program for the year, as well as celebrating our wonderfully diverse young people in the region. Our students embraced the positive messages of the program and gained insight from the experiences of struggle and resilience shared by the presenters from Batyr and PS My Family Matters. It was pleasing to see how well our students represented the College on the day.
If any current Yr 8 students are interested in becoming a 2023 Live4Life Crew Member, please speak to Ms O’Meara or Mrs Moore.
