Around the College
Year 8 Outdoor Ed Horse Riding & Activities
Our Year 8 students have been embracing adventure at The Ranch on the Mornington Peninsula over the past few weeks, with activities like horse riding, mountainboarding, and conquering the Pamper Pole!
This unique adventure park provided the perfect setting for students to step out of their comfort zones, build confidence, and create lasting memories.
Thank you to The Ranch for such an unforgettable experience!
