Year 7 Forest Edge Camp
A contingent of 185 students and 21 staff ventured out to Neerim for our Year 7 camp to Forest Edge. As usual, there was lots of excitement as we boarded the buses and headed for 3 days of action-packed fun in beautiful sunny weather.
River sledding, raft building, mountain boarding, high ropes, initiative games, bushwalking, flying fox and scavenger hunts were just a few of the daytime activities. It was great to see so many of our students pushing themselves, working together, encouraging one another and simply enjoying each other’s company.
A key theme of the camp was the importance of being nice and respectful to everyone you meet and the value of developing life long positive relationships. Camps provide yet another step toward developing independence, which as we discussed on camp is a vital ingredient toward becoming a resilient and confident adult.
In addition, an enormous thank-you to the following staff members for the caring, hardworking and positive attitude they displayed throughout the camp. Our College should be very proud we have teachers of this calibre in the school: Mr Donald, Mr Nichol, Mr Carroll, Mr Van Keulen, Mr Parr, Mr U’ren, Mr Seabook, Mr Bell, Ms Grey-Smith, Ms Rosendale, Ms Edmonds, Ms Briggs, Mrs Whitby, Ms Meyer, Ms Bell, Ms Coghlan, Ms Crea and Mrs Van Der Ende.
