Year 10 Camps run from Monday 27 November - Friday 1 December. A gentle reminder that some may still have a balance owing for camps. If this is you, or if you are unsure, please contact the office. Students will be issued with camp letters outlining full trip details and permission forms in the coming weeks - please return these as soon as possible. A reminder, camps are a privilege, not a right, and that the school reserves the right to remove a student from their selected camp. If you have any questions regarding Year 10 Camps, please contact Kelly Newton by phoning 356 4817.
