CAMP/RETREAT WEEK: TUESDAY 15 – THURSDAY 17 JUNE

 On Tuesday, the students and staff from St Patrick’s College Townsville set off on Camp. The Year 7 students headed to Camp Kanga where they took part in many activities based around a survivor theme. Year 8 students headed to Wambiana Station south-west of Charters Towers and engaged in typical farm based activities. The students in Year 9 headed up north to Mungalli Falls Education Centre for teambuilding activities designed to push them out of their comfort zones. The Year 10 students also headed north to Genazzano Retreat for their camp themed “Compassion”. Year 11 students spent their time at the College and at the Paluma Adventure Centre. Their retreat focus was on leadership, personal growth and a community service.

There have been many wonderful stories from all of the staff and students about the adventures they had on camp. These whole school activities are made possible by a dedicated staff who willingly give up their time to ensure the students have an enjoyable time. In particular, thanks must go to the Camp Coordinators Ms Meg Henderson, Ms Jordan Stewart, Ms Rosie Maguire, Ms Jodie Roberts and Ms Jaimee Seebohm for their willingness to plan these retreats.
