Embracing Challenges and Building Resilience

From Wednesday 4 September to Friday 6 September 2024, our Year 8 students participated in an unforgettable camp at the Swan Valley Adventure Centre. This experience was designed to encourage them to step out of their comfort zones, face challenges with determination and maintain a positive attitude.

Inspired by Mark 6:31, "Come away and rest awhile," the students had a chance to unplug from their digital lives and reflect on their growth. Although the weather was wet, the students didn’t let it get the better of them, staying strong and working together to discover new strengths and friendships.

The camp is an important part of our College's focus on building resilience and character and it was a memorable experience for all involved.
