Year 5 Norval Camp

Congratulations to our Year 5 Campers who attended Norval Camp in the Grampians last week.  Conditions were chilly, but relatively dry and the activities were challenging but supportive of student growth.  Our Year 5 cohort, were an amazing group of students, and I can safely say, without bias, one of the most collaborative, supportive and well-mannered groups I have been away with in my career.

Thanks to our dedicated and skilled staff who planned and supported the students as well as our wonderful parent group who backed our school to deliver on such a valuable experience for the students, which I’m certain will be a life-long memory for them.

I have attached some photos I took whilst there, to share with you all on our expedition to the Pinnacle.
