On Wednesday 8th May to Friday 10th May. The students attended Year 7 Camp at Camp Wilkin Anglesea. The Year 7 students and staff supervising the camp left the college at 9.00am by bus and travelled to the camp.
We arrived at Camp Wilkin by 11.00am, commencing our first camp experience with a safety briefing and students being allocated their rooms, followed by morning tea.
The theme at camp was “PERSERVERENCE and CHALLENGE BY CHOICE”. All students attending the camp were up for a challenge!
The Year 7 students and staff were up by 7.00am each morning preparing for breakfast, commencing our first activity at 9.00am on each of the days.
On Day 1 of the camp, the students participated in Mountain Bike Riding, High Ropes and a Beach Night Walk to conclude the day. All students gave their best efforts in each of the activities.
On Day 2 of the camp, students participated in rotational activities, such as, Orienteering, Team Initiatives, Gaga Ball, Gaming Room (free time), Climbing Wall, Damper Cooking session, concluding the night with a movie.
On the last day, students were up early cleaning their rooms and participating in their final group initiative activities. All students and staff departed the camp at 11.30am, stopping over at Eastern Beach Geelong for some delicious salad rolls and fruit provided by the camp.
The Year 7 students and staff who attended the camp displayed great leadership, enthusiasm, teamwork and strived towards our camp theme “PERSERVERENCE & CHALLENGE BY CHOICE”.

A Student's Reflection-
At Camp Wilkin the workers greeted us happily and directed us to where we needed to be. The instructors explained the rules that we were required to follow. Over the three days we had activities like: riding bikes, high ropes, night walk with torches, climbing walls, archery, movie night, beach walk. These activities enhanced our knowledge of our fellow classmates and ourselves to another level! The students showed courage, confidence, supporting each other and facing our fears. This camp has been an amazing experience that all students enjoyed and loved!
