Year 12 Retreat

The Year 12 Retreat took place from Monday 13 October to Wednesday 15 October 2025 at Lake Burrendong Recreation Centre. 

The main aim of the retreat was for the students to further bond and strengthen their connection as a year group, to develop skills in teamwork, leadership, resilience, problem solving and creative thinking. It was a wonderful opportunity for the entire year group to come together and participate in fun and recreational activities with the aim of developing stronger friendships and leadership skills amongst the cohort and to set a positive tone ahead of their final year together. 

Team Kinross Wolaroi on the Lonely Mountain

Some of our staff kicked off their Term 3 holidays with an incredible challenge — competing in the Lonely Mountain Ultra Trail Race! After months of training and preparation, they put in outstanding performances across a range of distances.

Ben Watt took on the 100km adventure, while Lachlan Barrett, Angus Brotherton and Sam Bettle each conquered the 50km event. Kate Anderson, Iain Jones and Robert Bell tackled the 22km course with great determination.

There were plenty of smiles (and a few sore muscles), but every one of them crossed the finish line — an incredible effort all round. 

 Well done, team!
