On Monday, December 11th, Group 1 eagerly embarked on their two-day adventure filled with exciting activities. The thrill continued as Group 2 joined in on Tuesday, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Both groups enjoyed an overnight stay, fostering independence and creating lasting bonds with their peers.

The itinerary was packed with a variety of activities that not only brought smiles to their faces but also provided valuable opportunities for personal growth. From the enchanting encounter with fairy penguins to the friendly competition of mini golf and ten-pin bowling, each moment was filled with laughter and camaraderie.

The adventure didn't stop there. Archery, the giant swing, flying fox, and bush cooking added an extra layer of excitement and skill-building to the mix. These activities not only challenged our children but also allowed them to discover new interests and talents.

As educators, it warms our hearts to know that our children had the chance to explore, learn, and grow in a supportive and adventurous environment. These experiences will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on their memories, fostering not only independence but also a sense of teamwork and resilience.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the organisers and staff who made this memorable experience possible. I am sure you will be hearing more stories from our young adventurers.

We are very proud of our grade fives who lived our expectations of Safety, Respect and Learning whilst being curious and ready to try new things just like St Thomas was in his life too.

Principal's message about the Year 5 camp

It was my privilege to spend three days this week with the Year 5 groups at camp. The children did an outstanding job of working together, challenging themselves, being brave, respectful and safe. Children had a chance to share skills and talents not normally visible in a school environment. Their peers learned about each other and gained a greater appreciation of the variety of gifts each person brings to the group.
