Year 7 – Year 7 Camp
6 March 2026
Dear Parents/Carers
During Week 1 of Term 2, Year 7 will be attending an outdoor adventure camp at Sydney Academy of Sport, Narrabeen. School camp is compulsory for all students to attend and the benefits of participation are considered very valuable. The purpose of the camp is to provide an opportunity for students to:
- Participate in challenging outdoor activities, which would not normally be available, such as canoeing, archery, raft building and low ropes.
- Cooperate with teachers and peers outside the classroom environment.
- Develop independence by being away from home but still in a safe environment.
The camp will take place from Monday 20 April to Wednesday 22 April (Term 2, Week 1). The centre offers great facilities in a wonderful setting. The program is well organised and very professionally and safely executed.
