Positive feedback from both staff and students indicates the
Great Aussie Bush Camp at Kincumber was an enjoyable
experience for all involved. Students overcame their personal
fears and worked in teams to undertake activities such as high
ropes, rock climbing, raft building, vertical challenge and leap
of faith, whilst developing friendships and learning about
leadership, respect and conflict resolution in the Peer Support
program. Thank you to Mr Mannweiler for his organisation of
the camp and to Ms Reynolds, Mr Taylor, Mrs Cossettini, Mr
Nash, Ms Prince and Mrs Gocher for their great efforts in
supporting our students.
