Well done to all students who participated in the camp at Anglesea. The weather was kind to us while there.

Students participated in the following activities: Surfing, Radio Rogaine, Giant Swing, Mountain Biking, Initiatives and Crate Climb.

At camp, there was a whole year level liturgy on Wednesday morning conducted by Fr Junray, as well as surfing with Father Junray who is an avid surfer.

Here are some photos from camp, and there will be more to come in upcoming newsletters.
