Episode 2- The Courage to Care: Sony Camp Reflections

 Episode 2 of Beyond The Bell spotlights Sony Foundation Camp, where Mt A students have stepped up as carers of children with disability for over 20 years, and experienced the power of service, connection and inclusion.

Year 12 students Gemma and Daniela shared how Sony Camp shaped their empathy, confidence and leadership as Year 11 students and why the experience stays with you long after the camp ends.

We were also joined by alumnae Georgia (Class of 2015) and Miss Davis (Class of 2006 & Mt A staff), reflecting on the program’s lasting impact - from career paths to parenthood. Georgia’s experience at Mt A as Outreach Captain and her participation at Sony Camp influenced her career journey into social work.

A huge thank you to our special guests for their time and insights.
