In term 4, with the warmer weather, middle and senior students had the opportunity to go on overnight camps at the Blackwood Special Schools Outdoor Education Camp supported by a variety of familiar staff. Whilst on camp the students demonstrated teamwork, communication and resilience as they eagerly participated in the activities, work in teams as well as be pushed a little out of their comfort zones. The students had the opportunity to participate in the high ropes course, bushwalking, team building games, bike riding, panning for gold, yabbying and archery. The Blackwood Camp staff were incredibly engaging and helpful, and the students warmed to them all. Back at camp, students helped out with cooking and chores such as washing and drying dishes, keeping their room tidy, as well as helping pack the bus. All camps would report that regardless of fatigue at the end, the bonds created, the experiences had, and the memories made make it a great time for both students and staff.
