Camp & Ballarat

Camp allows our students to bond over a 2 day camp. It allows them to work on the minor details of each item and to work together to perfect them. Camp also allows for downtime with their friends and helps with team building and friendships. Camp is usually in May each year.

Ballarat is a wonderful normally weekend away with both parents and students. Her Majesty Theatre is a prestige stage where magic happens. It is an amazing experience for all our students and its where memories are made. Ballarat is normally the end of October each year.
