Primary Camps
Primary school camps are held once a year for grade five and six students. They take place at Cottage by the Sea in Queenscliff and are aimed at developing students’ confidence, self-esteem, resilience and independence as well as the ability to work and problem solve with others. These camps give students an experience of being away from home in a safe and supportive environment.

- Surfing
