In Week 11 of Term 1, the Year 9 cohort set off for their highly anticipated camp at The Tops, located in the stunning surrounds of Stanwell Tops. The three day adventure provided students with an exciting opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, challenge themselves, and build stronger connections with their peers.

Throughout the camp, students participated in a wide range of activities designed to encourage teamwork, resilience, and fun. These included high-energy team building challenges, a silent disco, and a crowd favourite - the giant swing! Whether it was overcoming fears, solving problems together, or simply sharing camp moments around the dining table at dinner, Year 9 students made the most of every moment.

The camp experience was not only a time for adventure and activity but also a chance for students to grow socially and emotionally. As the days went on, it was clear that friendships were deepening and new bonds were forming. The sense of community among the year group strengthened, laying the foundation for a more connected and supportive school environment going forward.

A heartfelt thank you goes to all the dedicated staff members who generously gave up their time to attend the camp. Your efforts in supervising and supporting the students made this valuable experience possible. A special thank you to Miss Nicole Christodoulou, the Year 9 Assistant Coordinator, who assisted with the organisation and facilitation of this camp. Your commitment to student wellbeing and development is truly appreciated.

Year 9 Camp at The Tops was a memorable and meaningful experience that will be talked about for years to come. It was a fantastic way to kick off the school year, and the students returned with big smiles, great stories, and a renewed sense of unity.
