Year 7 Camp

Year 7 Camp – Noorla Yo-Long

On Wednesday 12th February, 17 very excited Year 7 students, accompanied by Miss Wallace, Mr Sanders and Mr O’Leary set of for a two night, three day camp to Noorla Yo-Long Blue Light Outdoor Adventure Camp. The camp’s three day itinerary provided students with opportunities to develop their leadership and teamwork skills, effective communication strategies, and overcome personal limitations.  The activities were facilitated by Senior Constable Geoff Yates (SA Police) and Ropes Instructor, Blaine.   Activities included low and high ropes courses, problem solving activities, blindfolded obstacle courses, and mazes.
