YEAR 7 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 7
Year 7 Camp
Students have returned from the Year 7 Camp at Echo Creek Adventure Centre, and I am sure they have earned a restful weekend. It was go, go, go as they participated in laser tag, raft building, and the very MUDDY challenge course. Other popular activities included abseiling, the evening campfire, and lantern stalk. It was wonderful to see connections between students strengthen and grow through their shared experiences as they supported and encouraged one another throughout their time at camp.
