PASTORAL CARE – Year 9 Camp

Year 9 participated in a two-day outdoor adventure camp at The Collaroy Centre. They challenged themselves to be brave and courageous in adrenaline activities, built teamwork skills through laser and archery tag, and competed with each other in a trivia competition to end the evening. The Year 9 Teachers are very proud of how each student brought a positive attitude and connected with each other around our camp theme ‘Unity in Sisterhood’.

Camp was a really fun experience for me and it was so great to make new connections with my peers during activities. The Collaroy Centre was so beautiful and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Camp was a positive opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone, try new things, and connect with others in my year group. We participated in a range of activities that challenged us to support and encourage one another, building confidence and teamwork.

Thanks to the teachers, The Collaroy Centre Staff and Year 9 students, camp fostered our skills and pushed us all to try new things. Whether it be the drop pole, giant swing, high ropes or rock climbing, it taught us how to grow, step out of our comfort zones and support our peers along the way!  It was a memorable experience and we learned a lot about ourselves and classmates.

I would just like to say that camp was an awesome experience, allowing me to step out of the boundaries of my comfort zone. Camp also allowed me to connect with new people from my activity group and foster new friendships that I didn’t think were possible before the camp. Lastly, the activities were a perfect mix of team bonding and personal growth, so overall year 9 camp was a lot of fun and a great experience for me.

Year 9 camp this year was a very fun and enjoyable experience where our abilities were challenged and we tried new things that we thought we were too afraid to do. Throughout the camp, we learned to trust ourselves and each other, whether it was during team activities, high‑rope challenges, or any other difficult activities. By the end of camp we returned home not only tired but proud of ourselves for what we accomplished.

Year 9 camp was 2 days of adventure, full of laughter and happiness. I personally sensed a feeling of support for one another amongst my peers.  We took part in fun and challenging activities such as the Giant Swing, Archery Tag, and Abseiling during the day and fun trivia at night to keep our spirits high. Throughout our time at camp, we connected with existing friends and made new ones too, as we navigated our way through the activities together, uniting as one to achieve a positive experience for all. Overall, camp was an enjoyable time and a great way to end a busy term.

Year 9 camp was a great mix of fun and personal growth. I’m especially proud that I went on the drop pole, something I never thought I’d be brave enough to do. I also loved staying in the cabins and having time to relax, laugh, and connect with my friends. Trivia night was another highlight because it helped us build closer friendships while working together. Throughout camp, I learned new things about people I thought I already knew, which made the whole experience even more meaningful.
