Wargomerrin - Year 7

Year 7 Camp at The Summit

Our Year 7 students recently embarked on an exciting and memorable camp experience the Summit Adventure Park, and what an incredible few days it was!

The Summit provided the perfect setting for our newest secondary students to challenge themselves, build friendships and create lasting memories. Over the course of the camp, students participated in a wide range of adventure-based activities designed to encourage teamwork, resilience and personal growth.

From tackling the Giant Swing and High Ropes Course to testing their courage on the Leap of Faith and various team building challenges, students supported one another every step of the way. It was wonderful to see so many students demonstrate determination, positivity and encouragement towards their peers.

Camp also gave students the opportunity to strengthen friendships and form new connections within their year level. Shared camp experiences, group challenges and plenty of laughter helped create a strong sense of belonging - an important foundation as they begin their secondary school journey.

Our staff were incredibly proud of the way students represented Bairnsdale Secondary College. Their behaviour, participation and willingness to "have a go" reflected our school values beautifully.

We look forward to seeing our Year 7 cohort continue to grow in confidence and connection throughout the year.

NAPLAN 2026: Key Information

Preparation for NAPLAN 2026 is well underway. NAPLAN is a series of assessments for all Year 7 and 9 students across Australia, designed to monitor student progress in literacy and numeracy. It is not a pass-or-fail test but provides valuable insights into student growth, curriculum effectiveness, and the quality of teaching and learning at our College.

This year, NAPLAN will take place in Term 1, from Wednesday 11th March to Monday 23rd March 2026.

While participation is expected, parents and carers have the option to withdraw their child from NAPLAN testing for religious, philosophical, or educational reasons. If you are considering withdrawal, please contact the College as soon as possible to discuss the process and complete the necessary paperwork.

For more information, parents and carers can refer to the attached brochure or visit the official NAPLAN website:
