Year 5 Camp - Final Update!
That’s a wrap on the year 5 camp for another year for Group 1. Today we packed and cleaned our cabins. Well done to Cabin 1 for winning today’s cleanest cabin and Cabin 5 for being the overall winners!! 🌟
We used nets to scoop up invertebrates from the dam, then did some challenging team building games before loading our gear onto the ferry and travelling home.
What a fun, adventurous, challenging, amazing 3 days it has been.
Our students received continuous praise for their resilience and excellent behaviour!! We’re so proud of you all!

Finally, year five camp would not be possible without our amazing teachers Mrs Hinds, Mrs Waine, Mrs Taylor and Ms Watkins! Thank you!!

Thank you also to the wonderful teachers at Konomie Island Environmental Education Centre for having us!
