Next week, our students in Years 7-10 will attend a camp from Wednesday to Friday. This time away gives the Year Group a chance to connect with one another outside of the usual school context. There are activities designed to develop students’ problem-solving skills, physical movement, communication skills and increase a sense of joy and engagement with their peers.
We are so grateful to our teaching staff who are giving up time with their families and friends to provide these opportunities for our students.
Years 11 and 12 will undertake assessments in this three day period. They will have access to a supervised study room before, after, and in-between their exams.
How can parents work in partnership with staff in relation to camp?
- Have positive and encouraging conversations with children; especially those who may be anxious about being away
- Share past experiences to reassure children about things that are out of routine
- Ensure that the Packing List has been read and all essentials are prepared
- Read all communication from the College and follow directions regarding drop off and pick up carefully
- Organise the necessary information and medications for our First Aid staff
