Our reason for going on camp are encompassed in our 5 Key Competencies: 1. Managing Self: Students learn when to lead, when to follow and when and how to be independent. Packing and repacking for camp is for some their biggest challenge. 2. Participating and Contributing: Learn to contribute appropriately as a group or team member and have the confidence to participate within new contexts. 3. Relating to others: Learn to interact effectively with a diverse range of people in a variety of contexts. 4. Thinking: Learn to draw on personal knowledge and intuitions and reflect on our own learning. 5. Using Language, symbols and texts: Learn to interpret and use words, images, and movement in a range of contexts.

ALL adults coming on camp will require police vetting.
Once the adults for each camp have been selected they will be asked to complete a form and have two types of ID (passport, driver’s license or birth certificate) sighted by the school office.
The vetting process can take a long time so we appreciate your assistance in ensuring this happens promptly once you are confirmed as a camp adult.
