YEAR 7 CAMP

YEAR 7 CAMP – A WEEK TO REMEMBER!

What happens when you take a whole year level to an adventure camp for three days? Friendships are formed, fears are conquered, and unforgettable memories are made!

Our 2025 Year 7 cohort has had an incredible start to high school, quickly settling in after a busy first few weeks. One of the biggest highlights so far has been Year 7 Camp at Alexandra Adventure Resort from Wednesday, February 19 to Friday, February 21. Over three days, students had the opportunity to meet new friends, try exciting activities, and fully embrace the high school experience

Here’s what some of our students had to say about their favourite camp memories:

• Sitting in the setting sun on the basketball court with my friends.
• The giant swing! I was so scared at first, but after doing it, I just wanted to go again.
• Hitting a bullseye in archery—such a great feeling!
• Making heaps of new friends and feeling like we’d known each other for years.
• The flying fox—it was so much fun! Also… breakfast was pretty great.
• The high ropes course terrified me, but I believed in myself and did two laps with the support of my friends and teachers!
• The wildlife show was awesome! It was hilarious watching Mr Claney’s reaction when the ‘scary’ animals came out.

For future Year 7s, here’s some advice from this year’s campers:

• Embrace it! You don’t get many chances like this.
• Even if something seems scary, go for it! Everything is super safe, and you might end up loving it.
• Take every opportunity to make new friends—you’ll leave camp with so many more than you started with.
• Don’t chicken out! Be brave and try everything. You don’t want to go home wondering, ‘What if?’
• Get out of your comfort zone and enjoy every moment—it goes by so fast!

From teamwork and adventure to laughter and new friendships, Year 7 Camp 2025 was a huge success! We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds for this amazing group of students.
