Year 7 Camp

The Year 7 Camp proved to be an unforgettable experience for all students, offering a vibrant start to our high school journey. Throughout the program, we participated in a wide range of engaging activities, including bushwalks, initiation challenges, archery, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, pool games, and several other team‑building exercises. Each activity encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones, develop new skills, and support one another.

One of the highlights of the camp was the highly anticipated trivia night. The competition was lively and entertaining, with students and teachers going head‑to‑head in a friendly battle of knowledge. Although the teachers ultimately claimed victory—much to the suspicion of the Year 7 cohort—their “prize” of wearing their clothes inside out provided plenty of amusement for everyone. The laughter and light‑heartedness of the evening perfectly captured the spirit of the camp.

Beyond the fun and excitement, the camp played an important role in helping us build stronger connections with our peers. Many students formed new friendships, strengthened existing ones, and gained a deeper sense of belonging within the year group. The shared experiences, challenges, and moments of joy created memories that we will carry with us throughout our time in high school.

On behalf of the entire Year 7 cohort, we extend our sincere thanks to The Fort for providing us with such a valuable and memorable opportunity. The camp not only allowed us to learn and grow but also set a positive tone for the years ahead. We are grateful for the experience and will cherish the memories for a long time to come.
