As part of our end of the year programme, we are taking the Year 10 boys to Wenderholm Regional Park for 2 days / 1 night.

The camp will consist of a number of ‘tribal’ challenges and talks based around the theme of “The Search for Authentic Manhood”.

Cost: $119.00 - due Friday, 11 November

Risk: There are always risks associated with involvement in school EOTC events and that these risks cannot be eliminated entirely. However, we will identify any foreseeable risks or hazards and implement correct management procedures to eliminate or minimise those hazards

Returning: 3:00pm - Friday, 9 December (KingsWay bus bays on Longmore Lane)

Any outstanding monies must be paid to the school prior to this trip otherwise your son will not be permitted to attend.

Students will be expected to behave responsibly and in line with normal school expectations for appropriate behaviour. Any serious breach of discipline may result in students being sent home from camp. We thank you for your support and prayers throughout this boys camp.
