Details: The Year 6 Outdoor Learning Program (OLP) will take place from 16  –  20 March, at Camp Quaranup. The heritage-listed quarantine station in Albany provides a magnificent location and vista for admiring the Great Southern region. Fishing from the shore, while looking over King George Sound is a wonderful learning experience, as is getting inside a wind turbine seeing our renewable energy sector in action.  

A true multicurricular program that has a wonderful blend of recreation activities and cultural immersion, learning about the significance of the whaling industry and most importantly, the ANZAC story. The five-day program explores much of what the great southern has to offer, supporting the rich opportunities for learning that exist when we venture further afield residing in a small community.

Transport: Students will depart on the morning of Monday, 16 March. Students will be departing from the Preparatory School steps. After arriving at school, students will meet their teachers in their classrooms and have their attendance registered. They will then load baggage onto the nominated coach, before departing at 6.45am. On the day of departure, students will need to carry with them: morning tea, lunch, a hat and a full water bottle for day one. These items can be packed in a small day pack/backpack for students (separate to their primary clothes bag). After lunch on the first day, all meals will be catered for. 

Students will return to School on Friday, 20 March at approximately 3.30pm and can be collected from the Preparatory School steps at this time. Notification to parents by School Administration will occur if there are significant changes to our estimated return time.
