Our recent Secondary Camp at The Lea, near Kingston, was an unforgettable adventure filled with fun, connection and challenge. With its stunning bushland setting, The Lea gave us the perfect outdoor education vibe. Students participated in exciting activities like abseiling at kunanyi, low ropes, archery, gymnastics, and beach games – pushing their limits and showing amazing courage along the way!

There was something for everyone. Cultural highlights included a visit to MONA, the fascinating Mawson’s Hut Replica Museum, and some fun shopping time in Hobart city. Evenings were just as packed, with theatre sports, fashion parades, spotlight games and cosy campfires that brought everyone together.

It was great to see students stepping outside their comfort zones, supporting each other, and giving everything a go. The courage shown – whether it was stepping off a mountain, performing on stage or just joining in something new – was truly inspiring.

A huge thank you to all the staff for making this camp such a success, and to the students for their positive attitudes, enthusiasm and teamwork.
