Growth Through Challenges – Year 7 Camp

Our Year 7 students recently returned from camp after an outstanding experience filled with adventure, teamwork, and personal growth. Over four days, students embraced a wide range of activities including high ropes, canoeing, raft building, bushwalking, obstacle courses, and campfires, creating lasting memories and strengthening friendships along the way.

Central to Year 7 this year has been the theme of Growth Through Challenges and nowhere was this more evident than at camp. Time and again, students demonstrated courage and resilience as they stepped beyond their comfort zones and encouraged one another to persevere. For some, growth meant taking those first few steps up the towering high ropes ladder. For others, it was finding the confidence to tackle the notorious Wombat Hole after some initial hesitation.

The camp was a wonderful opportunity for students to build connections, develop independence, and discover what they can achieve when they embrace challenges with a positive mindset. We congratulate all Year 7 students on the way they approached the experience and thank the staff who supported and encouraged them throughout the camp. Their collective efforts ensured a rewarding and memorable experience for all.

Thank you to the following staff: Felicity Warsop, Tom Mullen, Dilan Pais, Jordan Roth, Daniel Shaw, Jack Clark, Brett Davidson, Jack McCann, Chelsea Fyffe, Talissa Cerato, Bianca Vianello, Sam Boggs, Taylah Cooper and Mia Folli who spent time away from their own families to ensure that our young men of Year 7 had an unforgettable experience and made some lifelong memories.
