Year 7 Mercy Girls travelled to Canton Beach on the Central Coast for their first overnight camp, with the theme being, ‘The Possibilities are Endless’.
The two days provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the start of their high school journey. They participated in many activities including Raft Building, Canoeing, Orienteering, Flying Fox and the Giant Swing, encouraging them to step outside their comfort zone, develop new friendships and seek to become the best version of themselves.
During the camp, students participated in a reflection activity using Susan Verde’s book ‘I am Human’. They reflected on the character strengths within their heart and how their high school journey provides opportunities to grow these qualities so that they can make a difference in our world. During the activity, they decorated a heart-shaped box to represent their own heart and wrote a letter to themselves that they will revisit in a future Wellbeing lesson.
