Camp Kaitoke 2026

Our Seniors have just returned from an unforgettable few days at camp, and what a week it was! The Year 5 and 6 students spent two nights away together, while the Year 4s joined us for a big day in the middle. Camp is such a special part of school life and is a chance for students to learn outside the classroom, challenge themeselves, and grow in ways that are hard to recreate back at school. The Camp programme was packed with activities designed to stretch students both physically and mentally. There was hut building, team logic challenges, crate stacking, rock climbing, abseiling, the giant swing and the ever popular super fox. One of the best parts of camp is seeing the kids discover what they're capable of. For some, that meant stepping off the platform for the giant swing. For others, it was perservering through a tricky team challenge. These moments are when reselience grows, when students realise they can keep going even when something feels hard. Challenge through choice! There was also time for the simple joys of camp life, cricket matches every afternoon during 'free time', and the annual campfire with John, Steph, and Beth joined us for singing and toasting marshmallows. Camp might be over for another year, but the memories and lessons will be sticking around.
