Year 7 Adventure Camp

From Tuesday 2 June to Friday 5 June, Year 7 approached the Adventure Camp in Katoomba with enthusiasm, resilience and good humour, embracing the experience even through strong winds and wet weather. While the conditions meant the overnight camping component needed to move indoors, this became part of what made the camp so memorable.

The indoor camping arrangements were a highlight, with room after room filled with tents and transformed into a spectacular sleepover-style experience for the students. There was plenty of fun and connection across the week, from Trivia Night and Games Night to cooking outdoors and enjoying meals together.

We are sincerely grateful for the wonderful care provided by The Land’s Edge team and by MLC School staff Hannah Smith, Candace Robertson, Natalie Smith, James Adams, Joseph Pfeffer, Stavroula Koulouris, Helen Kondos, Bronwyn Peace, Al Roland, Amy Lim, Julia Lindblom and Michaela Bourbous.

It was also lovely to welcome visits from Joanna Graffen, Head of Senior School, and Lisa Moloney, Principal, both of whom took the time to share in the experience with our students and staff.

It was a pleasure for me to spend the week with Year 7 and to get to know them better in such a positive and memorable setting. I am especially grateful to Martina Stolzi, Acting Head of Year 7, for her outstanding leadership of the camp, and to Jack Rudd, Adventures and Immersion Coordinator, for his thoughtful planning and coordination of such a valuable experience for our students.
