FREE PARENTING PROGRAM

CAMP BRAVO 2019 NEWS

St Laurence's will be supporting and participating in Camp Bravo again this year.  We will be accepting only 25 students to attend from grades 3 -6.  The school will cover the costs for each student attending.

Dates : September 4th, 5th and 6th

Location: Memorial hall and surrounding shops and rehearsal spaces (as per last

year).

Cost:  St Laurence's will cover costs

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:  Please click on the links below Form 1 and Form 2** and download, fill in and return both forms to school by Thursday, 1st August .

Form 1: Enrolment Form (For Parents)

Form 2: Information About You (For Students)

**An ‘about you’ form needs to be filled in by each student attending the camp and it would be

recommended that a music teacher help the students fill this form out. This form gives our Camp

Bravo staff a better indication of the skill level of the students attending the camp. Last year we had

a lot of students who had never played an instrument before. This therefore meant that the skill

level of the students in the groups varied. We pride ourselves on being an all-inclusive music camp

but we need to know how to group students to ensure each student gets an engaging experience at

Camp Bravo.

You can go online at www.campbravo.com.au - you can now access all of the information about Camp Bravo.

Students that have not handed in the relevant documentation by the due date will not be 

attending Camp Bravo.  Once again, only 25 students will be participating from St Laurence's.  If we receive more that 25 applications it will come down to a first in, first served basis.

CODE CAMP HOLIDAY PROGRAM

Code Camp is a 2 day program during school holidays where kids will create their own app, a game that they design and code from start to finish under the guidance of our Code Camp facilitators. 

 

The 2 day program costs $239 per student.

 

At the end of camp, their apps will be available for download on all devices via the Code Camp Community app! 

  • Code Camp Little Heroes Program is 2-days for 5-6 year old children
  • Code Camp Spark is a 2 day program for 7-12 year old children.
  • Students learn valuable skills such as problem-solving, computational thinking, design thinking and get creative with their game design & code.
  • It's super fun, and creative so no matter what your child is interested in, they will have a blast!
  • Students will get their own login to our software 'Code Camp World' so they can continue their coding journey at home. There are online tutorials and videos to support them within the platform.
  • The program would run for 2 days during Spring school holidays in the second week of holidays between 23rd - 24th September 2019.
  • Completing this form is NOT a booking, rather it is to gauge interest in running our program at St Laurence O'Toole. If we get enough interest we will send a team!

Code Camp Little Heroes Age 5-6

Your kids will make new friends, learn to build apps, and enjoy problem solving with technology, puzzles, apps and more.

We know how important it is that kids get the right amount of 'screen time' versus physical activities. Expect iPad activities, board games, outdoor fun and more!

Build awesome mini-games and learn about coding in the process. It's so much fun they don't realise they're building new skills at the same time!

Code Camp Spark Age 7-12

Kids walk away with their very own game playable via our Code Camp App, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your app is yours to share with friends and family!

We use our proprietary software 'Code Camp World' to teach Drag & Drop coding letting kids focus on the logic without getting bogged down with complicated syntax.

Code Camp doesn't end on the last day of camp! You can access all the same tools used at our camps at home and carry on coding with our new video tutorials.
