Over three days, Year 12 students took part in a Study Camp experience designed to set them up for a confident and purposeful HSC year.
Students engaged in a variety of study formats, including silent study blocks, collaborative group sessions and dedicated pen‑and‑paper periods that encouraged deep thinking without digital distractions. These moments of sustained focus were genuine highlights, with many students expressing pride in what they were able to accomplish.
The days started off with devotions followed by a series of valuable talks from key members of our senior team. The Head of Senior School, Mr Corbett-Jones, provided practical strategies for effective study and exam preparation, while the Academic Dean Ms Munro, guided students through the realities of navigating the HSC year with clarity and resilience. In the wellbeing space, our school psychologist, Mr Cleur delivered sessions on managing stress and maintaining balance. We were also fortunate to welcome Roanna Chan, a clinical psychologist from The Kidman Centre, UTS Mental Health Treatment and Research for Youth, who offered powerful insights into self‑understanding, motivation and overcoming procrastination.
A major milestone of the camp was the presentation of the Year 12 jackets, this was led by Deputy Principal Mr Wyatt, a moment filled with excitement and a strong sense of unity as the cohort stepped fully into their final year.
Alongside the academic and wellbeing focus, students also enjoyed well‑earned downtime, bouncing around on inflatables, kicking a ball with Mr Williams or relaxing with a movie. Students also enjoyed slushies and a barbecue with friends, these moments added joy and connection to the experience.
Study Camp 2026 has set a strong foundation for the year ahead, and we are incredibly proud of the maturity, engagement and enthusiasm shown by our Year 12 students.
