Year 7 camps at Fortescue Bay

Year 7 attended camp last week in House groups. Siena and Guzman went Monday-Wednesday, Savio and Bosco went Wednesday-Friday. While one group went on a 6 km hike to Bivouac Bay, the other went kayaking and did beach activities. During the hike many people got attacked by leeches! Two Houses were lucky enough to see a seal. We were all expecting the hike to be really difficult but it ended up not being as challenging as we thought it might.

Thanks Year 5 for a very nice time!
