Primary schools

The focus of primary school camps is the development of social skills and independence. A primary program promotes active and healthy lifestyles, introduces students to outdoor and environmental education, and is adaptable to suit each group’s needs.

We are very impressed with how the centre is run and, most importantly, the children really enjoy themselves. North Rocks Public School

Programs are designed to meet the outcomes from Key Learning Areas, through activities suitable for primary-aged students such as archery, rock climbing, canoeing, fishing, ropes course, flying fox, rafting, kayaking, initiatives and cookout.

Camp activities meet outcomes from the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education syllabus and promote skills associated with syllabus areas for Human Society and Its Environment.

Secondary schools

Secondary school students participate in outdoor recreational activities while also addressing aspects of the syllabus, particularly in Personal Development, Health and Physical Education.

The staff are dedicated and enthusiastic, the meals and accommodation top notch, and the kids are never bored. Peter Moore, Regional Sports Organiser, Department of Education and Training

Promoting active and healthy lifestyles, the activities also help to broaden students’ choice of pursuits, hobbies and careers.

Activities popular with secondary students include abseiling, kayaking, raft building, sailing (terms 1 and 4 only), and challenge ropes course.

Peer support and orientation camps

To help in the transition from primary to high school, schools can incorporate activities available at Myuna Bay with their peer support programs. Senior students run the leadership sessions and participate in activities with Year 7 students. Orientation camps can also be incorporated with peer support for new students.

Crossroads

Crossroads is a mandatory personal development and health education course for all Year 11 students in NSW government schools. It covers issues concerning relationships, sexual health and drugs. Activities and workshops facilitated by centre staff help students to reflect upon and share issues that are important to them.

Study skills

A study skills program can be complemented with outdoor education activities that reinforce key themes. Through experiential learning activities, games and discussions, the study skills course covers time management, planning and priorities, motivation, goal setting, study techniques and exam preparation.
