Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 join with Junior School students to attend an outdoor education programme once each year. Each programme has the primary aim of enabling students to challenge themselves mentally and physically and to build strong, lasting friendships. Students in Kindy to Year 2 attend a city-based day programme with Year 2 attending their first overnight \u2018camp out\u2019 at the School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years 3-6 attend overnight and multi-day camps at Kirrikee, an Outdoor Education Centre, owned by St Andrew’s Cathedral School, in the Southern Highlands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Stage 3 students can also attend a three day field-trip to Canberra and also Lake Macquarie on the NSW Central Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus in the primary ages is to have fun and give these young students a taste of the Australian bush, with time away from the normality of home, together with outdoor recreation skill development. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The camp is run by St Andrew’s Cathedral School\u2019s own outdoor education staff and an Acknowledgement of Country is held every morning for campers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
