Senior School

Our Year 11 Camp this year (28 Feb - 2 Mar) carried the themes of Resilience, Leadership, and Relationship Building. Our students portrayed these three themes and, our college values of Respect, Responsibility, Personal Best and Sense of Community and did our school proud during the three days at Phillip Island. 

We have surveyed the students and here are some of their responses... photos follow the quotes...
