Camps

Going on a school camp provides students with an opportunity to learn and grow while experiencing situations and activities that can't be provided in the classroom.  The activities offered on camp build resilience and resourcefulness in students as they do things they've never done before and overcome challenges they wouldn't meet at home. 

Camps in 2018 

In 2018 Year 5 & Year 6 students will go to Forest Lakes Camp. 

Previously Year7 & Year 8 students have gone to Blue Mountain Adventure Camp.  We feel that this option is now too expensive and will be consulting with students and parents on alternative options for later in the year.

Forest Lakes Camp

In even years our Year 5 and Year 6 students go to Forest Lakes Camp.

Teachers select a range of age appropriate activities that will challenge our students and help them to build resilience and resourcefulness.  

Managing risks at camp

There are some risks associated with camp activities which are managed to ensure the safety of everyone.  Parents and teachers on camp follow the safety management plans established by Forest Lakes Camp staff. While risks can be maintained to acceptable levels they cannot be totally eliminated. Some risk is retained for its learning and experiential value.

Risk Analysis Management Plans for camp activities and Forest Lake’s Guidelines for Supervisors outlining safety protocols are available for downloading here, or can be viewed on the Teacher and Organiser page on the Forrest Lakes Camp web site.
