Year Seven Camp

Despite the wet weather earlier in the week, our Year Seven Camp went ahead with only minimal disruption at Teen Ranch. All activities (Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Archery and Giant Swing) were conducted, as were some evening games and a liturgy. Thanks to  Ms Toogood, Mr Sullivan, Ms Terkalas, Mr Estephan, Ms Heath, Mr Duval, Ms Hope, Ms Pullicino and students for their patience and commitment during the experience.

Murray and MacKillop Houses attended Teen Ranch on Wednesday and Thursday, whilst Avila and Howard attended on Thursday and Friday. Both groups participated in a range of spiritual, technological, goal setting and team building activities when they were at school on the alternate days. Thanks again to all students and carers for their support over the past few days and also to the staff who covered lessons at school and assisted with the school-based activities.

This initiative allows valuable time for staff and students to develop relationships and to build on some of the key ingredients of what it means to be part of a Respectful, Responsible and Safe Mount Carmel community. The experiences of the past few days will be an important reference point for the ongoing growth and development of individual and group learning and wellbeing over the coming terms throughout 2022.
