Camp

This week the Year 6 students made their way out to The Island camp in Phillip Island for a 3-day adventure camp. The students spent their time taking part in a variety of challenge activities including flying fox, giant swing, the pinnacle, pedal racing and archery. We also went to the beach during the day and took part in a talent show and movie night. Each student had the opportunity to challenge themselves and step outside their comfort zone. We are extremely proud of the year 6 students and how they demonstrated each of the school dispositions throughout the 3 days.
