Year 6 Camp

On Wednesday 10 May, Year 6 also headed off to Attunga in the beautiful Southern Highlands for an amazing three days, jam-packed with activity and a whole lot of fun!

It was also a fantastic opportunity for the girls to step out of their comfort zone; a place so cosy and safe that it’s tempting just to hunker down and stick to the things that you already do well.

And yet, the Year 6 girls embraced every challenge and faced their nerves head on. Some learnt to ride a bike for the first time, while others pushed themselves to new limits with the mountain biking obstacle course. On the giant swing and power fan, girls faced their fear of heights and launched themselves into the air while their friends cheered below. And despite the crisp highland air, the girls eagerly spent an evening star gazing and braved frozen toes climbing into canoes to paddle across the lake.

The girls showed tremendous courage, as well as kindness and support for their peers. They encouraged each other, problem solved together and learnt the value of perseverance. In doing so, they demonstrated many of the SCEGGS Primary School learning dispositions: Be curious, be flexible, be persistent, be courageous!         

Well done, Year 6. You should be so proud of yourselves.
