Camps Program
We are very proud of our camping program which works on a rotation basis. Each class has their own camp which is related to the learning going on in the classroom. Each year the Year 1 students have a ‘sleepover’ at school, with the Foundation students joining them for breakfast the next morning.
In 2023 our camps are: Yr 4/5/6 Urban Camp- Melbourne; Yr 2/3 Warra Gnan- Warrnambool; F/1 School sleepover for Year 1 students and a Foundation breakfast at school the following morning.

Excursions and incursions
These are shared with other local schools and are often linked to curriculum themes and other events.

NAIDOC 2023
In Term 3 we joined with all the other schools in the Portland/ Heywood district to celebrate NAIDOC week at the Portland foreshore. This was an exciting event, and complemented our Dhauwurd Wurrung language curriculum beautifully.
