Camps

Each year our students in years 3-6 have the opportunity to attend School Camp.  A highlight of the year for our students which usually includes Melbourne Urban Camp and Howmans Gap for years 3-4 and Wlisons Prom and Canberra for years 5-6.  We alternate each year between our options.

This year, 2026, Our year 5 and 6 students embarked on a long-awaited camp in May to Wilsons Prom. Along the way to Wilson's Prom students enjoy Gumnut Park playground in Donnybrook and once at Tidal River, students unpack before heading down to the beach, for some free play.

Students also experience a nature night walk, a hike up Mt Oberon, 1,831ft above sea level, with Mount Oberon offers one of the best views in Victoria. The summit overlooks Tidal River and hikers enjoy a 360-degree panorama of Wilsons Promontory.

The students are lucky enough to experience surfing, swimming, hikes, team bonding and many more things that will remain fond memories.
