Year 6 Camp

Our Year 6 students embarked on their final primary school camp in the countryside last week. Billabong Ranch, just outside Echuca, provided a taste of country life, with fresh air and clear blue sunny skies. The nights and mornings were freezing cold but students embraced the cold and put on a brave face to do their morning activities and the continuous campfire kept everyone warm and cosy at night.

Students engaged in a wide range of activities including horse riding, adventure and initiative activities, designed to develop self-confidence, trust, problem solving and teamwork skills.

Highlights included:

• A fire twirling performance
• Jumping from the hay bales
• Toasting marshmallows
• Bungee trampolining
• Horse riding, saddling and grooming.
