St Paul's Anglican Grammar School's year seven students enjoyed forging new friendships and reconnecting with nature during the school's recent peer support camp at Camp Rumbug in South Gippsland.
With the support of year 11 peer support students, the year seven students adventured in canoeing, archery, climbing and abseiling gum trees, raft building and launching, low ropes and flying over deep ravines and waterways with the flying fox. Students also appreciated hiking up and down challenging slopes once rewarded with the views of Wilsons Promontory.
As part of the students' transition to secondary school, educators prioritise the wellbeing of students with a camp that aims to forge connections, develop teamwork and personal growth, promote problem-solving, and strengthen the bond of the cohort early in the school year.
