The school camps are places where staff and students can step out of their usual environment and try some new learning activities.
Ern Halliday is a sanctuary in the suburbs.
It is a special place where Western Australians of all ages can participate in unique and exciting outdoor recreation activities within the Perth metropolitan area.
This exciting camping complex is located on the beach in the northern suburb of Hillarys. The complex has three large dormitory camps, a picnic and tent campsite and one of the largest range of adventure programs in WA.
Set in 28 hectares of natural bush, this camp really is your sanctuary in the suburbs.
Pictured below are some of the activities that students participated in.
“There is something very special about being away from your parents, sleeping under the stars, doing a vertical challenge and kayaking.”
The Rite Journey provides unique educational programs designed to support the development of self-aware, vital, responsible, respectful & resilient adults.
By raising young people’s consciousness about transitioning from child to adult and having conversations with them about what really matters we can assist in guiding their journey into adulthood.
The year-long program uses a Rite of Passage framework to deepen the students’ experience of this important life transition.
A few words of thanks from Mr Dale Kelly:
Thank you for your wonderful efforts this morning and during the heat of the hike.
We had many parents commenting on how much they enjoyed being at Sorrento.
The students had a great time today and I think it was a wonderful opportunity for them to bond and to feel a sense of accomplishment.
I must make a special mention to Nicola Kirby who on the strength of this morning’s efforts could easily start a buffet breakfast bar – YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE STAR!!!!!!
You know that your efforts today were above and beyond what is expected and for that I thank you.
Today the Year 10 girls had the opportunity to attend a LEGO Robtotics workshop run by a group of university student volunteers arranged by Mrs Amy Aldous.
In this fun and educational class, students were shown the basics of engineering, robotics and programming using LEGO Mindstorms NXT kits.
The photo below shows students being a human structure.
The purpose of these workshops is to give girls a general idea of what engineering is about and to provide a fun, hands-on engineering experience. The workshops are free for schools and run by volunteers from UWA.
