Yr 8 Camps Term 1, 2017

The 2017 Year 8 Camps program will start in Term 1. This camp forms part of the core camps the school runs at Years 7 and 8. Students will attend the camp with their tutorial group and two tutorial groups will be at the camp at the same time, however, activities are done separately. Permission forms will be distributed in the first full week of school.

The camp will run for 4 days at Camp Boho South which is operated by Northcote High School and is the former Boho South State School. NHS has operated this camp since the late 1970’s. The activities on this camp include: an overnight hike, horse riding, swimming, bowling and canoeing.

Due to the dry conditions in rural Victoria and the risk of fire these camps may be rescheduled if necessary. Decisions regarding fire danger will be made the day before the camp departs when fire weather warnings are issued. Camps may also return early if conditions change.
