Camps

Year 7 Camp

As part of the Wellbeing program at St Johns Park High School, Year 7 students participate in an Outdoor Education Experience. The Year 7 Camp is a great way for students to make invaluable connections with their fellow classmates. The program is stimulating and offers a range of interesting and challenging activities designed to build resilience, team work and friendships. Students are encouraged to move beyond their comfort zone and experience the reward of achievement. Through challenge, at both a personal and team level, students enhanced their self-esteem and confidence, improved communication skills and developed a greater sense of community with peers and teachers.

Student Leadership 

The SRC, HOUSE and PR student leadership camp is an opportunity for students to bond, gain confidence and build leadership skills. Students participate in both indoor and outdoor activities such as participating in enjoyable but challenging team sports and team building activities lead by the School Captains and Prefects. During the camp, student leaders also work together to brainstorm and plan their events for the year. This allows students to project manage whilst developing their creativity and collaboration skills. The leadership camp aims to build student self-esteem and communications skills whilst developing productive relations and rapport with students from different year groups.

Life Ready Program 

Our Year 11 students participate in an intensive three day camp as part of the mandatory 25 hour Life Ready Program. The aim of the camp is to challenge students to face physical and mental tasks that they are unlikely to experience at school, in a supportive and safe environment. The program helps to build student resilience, self-confidence and encourage them to form new friendships. Students develop the skills to empower them to take positive action to develop healthy, respectful relationships and transition confidently to post school independence and participation in the community.
