Our Year 5 students have just returned from an incredible camp at Kirrikee in the Southern Highlands. The students embraced every challenge thrown their way - what a time they had! �
Many students mastered new activities for the first time. These included mountain biking and abseiling, with several students conquering their fears and even going back for a second try. Canoeing quickly became a favourite and archery proved another popular activity. The adventure didn’t stop there, with students navigating the Kirrikee property in teams, crossing creeks during bush walks.
A huge thank you to our Outdoor Education team for creating such a meaningful and memorable experience! ... See MoreSee Less
