Year 10 Adventure Camp

Jo Dunn on 30/09/2020

Students will be challenged to a 5-day expedition in Karridale. This experience offers our students the opportunity to extend themselves beyond the classroom environment, to support not only their personal development but also deepen their connection with their peers.

The activities include hiking, caving, abseiling, rock-climbing, canoeing and high ropes courses. We hope that our Year 10 students will develop a sense of responsibility, resilience, and independence as they embark on the next phase of their schooling life.
