Many subject areas and extra-curricular activities include excursions where students can gain practical skills in their area of interest. College excursions are those initiated, organized and supervised by the College and approved by the Principal and endorsed by the P & C.
Parents will be advised by letter prior to the excursion of details of the excursion. Written permission from the parent/guardian must be obtained to allow the student to attend.
Some examples of annual excursions include:
- Year Five Camp: Students attend a Leadership Camp on the Sunshine Coast each year to test their courage, build new connections and start their leadership journey.
- ABCN Career based incursions: ABCN provide a number of incursions in Year Seven to Eleven to develop Career skills, including interview skills, information and guidance about career choices and access to mentors. These excursions are offered on an Expression of Interest process.
- Year Seven Camp: Students in Year Seven are offered a trip to Maroon Outdoor Education Centre each year.
