We’re on the countdown to Year 8 Camp…. 4 weeks to go!

Please appreciate that we need to finalise numbers for this camp. (ie. Bus and camp bookings) If there are any students planning not to attend this compulsory school program, they should have provided notification, in writing, to the Co-ordinators.
A ‘What to Bring’ to camp letter was provided on Monday during Pastoral Care and a room allocation survey completed… start counting the sleeps!

A deposit of $100 was due by Friday 3rd November if you wanted to be considered for this camp, but we extended this until Friday 17th November. Payments from female students will still be accepted after this time.
Places still remain for girls for this fantastic camp….
So girls, get a group together and commit to this fun experience… the bigger the group the better! The camp cost of $400 can be paid in instalments and if there are issues with payment, please see Mrs Arneil.
Expression of interest forms are still available in the main office, from the Year 9 Co-ordinators and from Mrs Arneil (Rubicon Camp Co-ordinator).
Thirty-six lucky students (18 males and 18 females) get to go to Rubicon and it is the only year level camp for Year 10’s.
The 2017 camp meetings will be held in TC9, Friday lunchtimes:
- 17th November to receive confirmation letters & paperwork
- 1st December return forms and talk about ‘What to Bring’ to camp
- 8th December return forms and organise rooms
As this camp is in week six of term one, a majority of the preparation has to be completed before the end of Rollover.
2018 – Yr 7 – Forest Edge CYC
Dates: Monday 19th to Wednesday 21st March 2018
The 2018 camp will be at Forest Edge Camp. It has an exhilarating high ropes course and a 300 metre flying fox. We will encourage students to ‘reach for the top’ on our high indoor climbing wall, as well as enjoy a peaceful forest walk along the Latrobe River. Students will have the opportunity to build relationships with new friends, as well as the opportunity to be part of some amazing group and individual activities…. Can’t wait
2018 – Yr 10,11 & 12 – Central Australia Camp
Mrs Dempster is awaiting deposit payments. Written information regarding this camp is available outside the Year 10 & 11 Co-ordinators office.
You have not seen Australia until you’ve seen Central Australia.
Make the most of this fantastic opportunity, run during the last week of term 2 and the school holidays. No new work is covered in Year 12 VCE classes during this time, so you don’t miss out on school work….
AND if you’re concerned about Windsor, we suggest that you pay your deposit for Central, then trial for Windsor. If you make the Windsor squad, you can transfer your deposit to your Windsor expenses. If you don’t make the Windsor squad, you still have secured a place on this fantastic camp.
