Camps
Students in Grade 3-6 are given the opportunity to build on their camp experiences from Grade 3 by attending venues which are situated further away and are of a longer duration. 3-6 camps are primarily adventure camps where students continue to develop their independence challenging themselves in a variety of activities and situations.
Students return from the grade 3-6 camps very happy, exhausted, fulfilled and most importantly with a great sense of achievement and self knowledge. Most have been involved in many new and exciting experiences and all look forward to camp the following year.
