Camp Carey 19-21 February

Children have experienced everything from crate stacking, wall climbing, problem solving, archery, rifle shooting, a confidence course, rope maze, water slide and a wipe-out course. It’s been a fun filled school camp experience!


Very proud to see them learning how to work as a team and listen to them encourage each other through their various activities. Especially, as some of the activities were quite challenging. It was great that they persevered and gave everything a go.


Experiences outside the classroom, like Camp Carey reinforce learning by enabling the children to make connections between what they have learnt in the classroom and the world beyond the classroom. Camp Carey gave the children the opportunity to demonstrate the key competencies; particularly managing self, relating to others, and participating and contributing.

Many thanks to our parent helpers, visiting teachers and the Year 5 team for making this camp experience such a success.

With so many amazing photos from camp it was hard not to share them all.

Breakers Basketball

We have been very fortunate to have the multi-talented Alex from the Breakers developing our basketball skills these last few weeks. He made us aware of the importance of making short, mid and long term goals. Alex has taught us some fundamentals of basketball Plus, we put the skills into practice by playing games. Lots of fun!
