Activities such as camps and excursions can greatly enhance the progress of learning, offering new, varied, challenging and practical experiences across the learning areas. They stimulate and challenge students and provide an opportunity for children to interact with teachers and each other in a setting vastly different from the classroom. Students discover and experience new environmental settings and learn new skills first-hand. Camps and excursions may take the form of:

day excursions to places of interest

performing arts during and after school hours

participation in sports, arts and cultural events

music, physical education and outdoor education camps

Costs

In most cases, there is an additional cost for camps and excursions which helps cover things such as entrance fees and transport. If you have financial problems that could stop your child from attending, talk to the year level senior leader of your child.
