YEAR 7 CAMP REPORT

The Year 7 Roses Gap Camp proved to be a very successful and enjoyable camp for all involved. The students were provided with the opportunity to participate in a range of outdoor educational activities coordinated by qualified staff. These activities included Flying Fox, Giant Swing, Crate Stack, Vertical High Ropes Climbing, Canoeing, Raft Building, Leap of Faith, Bushwalking, Archery and a Low Ropes Course.

The Giant Swing was the most popular activity with most of the students. Classmates were able to pull them up to their preferred height (up to 19m) before the countdown to release and send them flying! The Flying Fox was another highlight with an exciting ride to the other end of a long zip line after leaping off the tower. Canoeing in the Roses Gap Camp Lake was also popular, as the students were able to get the chance to participate in races, raft-ups and games.

The night activities included a games/trivia night and a trip to Horsham Cinemas. Overall, the students should be congratulated on their participation in the activities and the way they represented St Mary MacKillop College. The staff who attended (Mr Venter, Mr Thompson, Mr Seguin, Mrs Henderson, Ms Gomez, Ms Mazzarella, Ms Portbury, Gemma Phelan, Elia Ware, Wynta Mitchell, Sarina Barry, Katelan Parkinson and Chelsea Tofful) must also be thanked for their excellent work and the effort they put in to make sure the camp ran so smoothly.
