Year 7 Camp

Travelling by both bus and ferry, 150 Year 7 students and 8 teachers arrived at Broken Bay Sport and Recreational Centre ready for an exciting 3 days at camp. The location was beautiful, the activities exciting and the bush turkeys daring.

Even though they had only known each other for a little over two weeks, cabins of 22 beds inevitably led to late night chats and new friendships formed.

Participating in archery, a high ropes course, raft building and games on the beach, Year 7 learnt new skills, worked in teams, and most importantly had lots of fun.

On day two we were joined by the Year 10 Peer Support leaders who joined in on the activities and lead the groups through Peer Support sessions designed to encourage cooperation, problem solving and peer-to-peer relationships.

The highlights for me were definitely the baby turtle on the beach and discovering some hidden artistic talent. Camp was a wonderful way to get to know the cohort and I can’t wait until our next one.

Thank you Year 7 for your willing participation and wonderful behaviour while at camp. I would also like to thank the fantastic staff who gave up their time to attend!
