YEAR 7 CAMP

Week three of this term saw 180 of our year 7 students heading off to YMCA’s Mt Evelyn Recreation Centre for our year level camp. The first half of the week was sunshine and smiles for our homegroups 7A-E, while the second group, 7F-J, didn’t have as much luck with the weather.

Weather aside, all of our students participated to the best of their abilities, opting in to the camps ‘challenge by choice’ activities. It was brilliant to see the students pushing themselves to learn new skills, such as riding a bike, or challenging themselves to build up the courage to attempt the ‘leap of faith’, or perhaps hold the camps resident snake.

YMCA’s camp staff commended our students for their teamwork, support and encouragement of one another while participating in each of their activities. None of this would be possible without the time and effort put in by our teaching staff who were able to give up time from both their work and personal lives in order to attend both of our year 7 camps. A huge thank you to all of our staff who attended our year 7 camps this year.
