YEAR 8 CAMP

The Year 8 Camp was held at Lake Dewar Lodge near Bacchus Marsh and again proved to be a popular, well attended event by our Year 8 cohort.

The weather conditions were mostly just what we ordered and allowed the many exciting outdoor activities to proceed without a hitch, although the high winds we experienced on the last day certainly challenged those of us on the Mountain Bikes and the Flying Fox in particular!

It was great to see the kids participating enthusiastically to the best of their ability through the “Challenge by Choice” activities. They worked their way through four activities a day which included stand up Paddle Boarding, a dual Flying Fox, which was over 100m in distance, downhill Mountain Biking, Kayaking, Jetty Jumping, Geocaching and a giant trek down into the Werribee Gorge. Some students really needed to push their boundaries as they were well out of their comfort zones, but the support and encouragement of their classmates generally helped them get through.

I’d like to acknowledge the great work of our staff members who ensured that the camp was a success.
