Yr 12 Kangaroobie Camp
A three day camp in Term 2 2025 from Wednesday 30th April- Friday 2nd May at Kangaroobie Princetown Victoria.
The Year 12 camp is a valuable opportunity for students to strengthen their bond as a cohort with their peers, their Year Student Manager and other staff working within the Student Engagement, Wellbeing and Pathways team. Students will participate in team-building activities that will strengthen their resilience during their academic school year.
