Camps and Excursions
Excursions and incursions are an integral part of our program. These are educationally based and socially beneficial. They are employed to enhance learning experiences and reinforce concepts taught in the classroom, providing opportunities to apply knowledge and understanding gained at school to 'real life' situations.
Camps play an important role in building group cohesiveness, in fostering friendship, and in strengthening the relationships between teachers and students. In addition, it gives individual students opportunities to develop independence and leadership skills. Year 7 camp, in particular, helps facilitate a smooth transition from primary school into secondary school.
All students have the opportunity to participate in camps appropriate to their age and interests during the year. All students are encouraged to attend.
