Year 7 Camp<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"A sunny Stanwell Tops was the beautiful setting for the recent Year 7 Camp. The staff and I enjoyed our time continuing to get to know the students, learn more names and see first-hand their Marist Compass in action. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Year 7 Camp Cup was a competitive focus, as the students earnt \u2018paper clip\u2019 points for actively living the four dimensions of the Marist Compass by showing \u2018courage\u2019, encouraging ’empowerment\u2019, being \u2018sisters\u2019 and sharing their \u2018gifts\u2019 with each other. <\/span><\/p>\n

A big THANK YOU to Ms Grace Spurr and Mrs Kath Della Vedova for their coordination of the getaway, as well as the staff who attended as group leaders: Ms <\/span>Angela Bowland, Ms Monique Shippen, Ms Lili Negrine, Mr Steve Saliba, Ms Rachael Colreavy, Ms Kate Sinclair, Mr Ryan Leonard, Ms Janine Stitt and Ms Stephanie MacMillan. <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve included an image of one of our Year 7 groups supporting their mates. See the full report, a personal recap from student Analisa Hernandez and more photos later in this Newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n
