Boundless Fun at Bournda Camp

Group photo of students and staff

Bournda Camp was an unforgettable adventure for the 55 PASS and Surf Studies students, offering an experience that combined challenge and excitement. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, with clear skies and sunshine setting the stage for an action-packed few days. Students dove into a range of outdoor activities, including kayaking along calm waters, rope climbing that tested their strength and courage, swimming in the crystal-clear lagoon, and mountain biking along rugged trails.

What made the camp even more memorable was the hands-on experience it provided. Students were given full responsibility for their camp setup, including pitching their tents on what was, at times, incredibly hard ground. The group took turns preparing meals, cooking together over camp stoves, and cleaning up after each meal. This not only taught valuable life skills but also fostered teamwork and independence. The evenings brought even more fun and laughter, with a trivia night where students showed off their knowledge in a friendly but competitive environment. There were also talent performances that highlighted the creativity and entertainment of the group, followed by a spotlight session. The Batemans Bay waterslides were also a highlight of the trip. None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of the parents, who made sure their children were well-prepared and organised for the trip. A huge thank you also goes out to the teachers, who generously gave up their time to make the camp a success, guiding and supporting students throughout the experience. Most of all, a heartfelt thank you to the students themselves, who embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, resilience, and a positive attitude - what a fantastic bunch of legends they are!
