School camps provide students with the opportunity to get to know each other and feel part of a team. Students in Year 5 have the opportunity to learn about the Goldfields and get first hand experience at gold panning. The students spend three days in Bathurst and Hill End, experiencing what life was like during the Goldrush. Students in Year 6 attend an Anglican Youthworks camp at Port Hacking where they have the opportunity to abseil, canoe, raft, hike, as well as get to learn more about Jesus through Christian discovery sessions.
Every year, six student leaders are elected to represent the students at various functions throughout the year.
