What is Year 7(8) camp about?

Getting results

Then putting them into practice

Facing new challenges, and

supporting others with theirs.

Persevering

Team work

There is always room for some posing

And smiling

Concentrating

Supporting others

Planning

The singing and dancing!

Digesting key information

Some relaxing

Art work

Building project

And I think this is PE.

Stretch and Challenge

Comfort

students will not have access to power points. Because of this no students should bring a mobile phone with them.

or if a pupil needs to be picked up from camp. • You will be provided with this number before

students leave.

misbehaves or prove to be a danger to themselves or others.
