Year 7 Discovery
Year 7 Discovery Highlights
In Years 7 and 8, students camp, hike and cycle over part of the Larapinta Trail as a lead up to the more sophisticated challenges of the Year 9 Endeavour Camp.
The Year 7 Discovery Course is the first in our comprehensive Outdoor Education program. This 3-day camp introduces students to the philosophy of Outdoor Education and provides constructive time to get to work with their peers and teachers in a different environment. There's bushwalking, orienteering, abseiling, mountain biking and a trip to the Desert Park.
All specialist equipment is provided by the Outdoor Education department.
We acknowledge the Arrernte people as the traditional custodians and first educators of Mparntwe. Our school is home to students from nations all around the world. We ‘strive’ to work with and continue learning from First Nations people. We ‘seek’ to be a part of Australia’s reconciliation journey by engaging in truth-telling. We aim to ‘care’ for Country through connection and environmental education. We pay our respects to elders past and present and thank them for their care of Country and sharing of knowledge.
