Combined Camps

A Thoughtful Three-Year Pathway Journey

Three deliberately sequenced and responsive experiences help students discover possibilities, make informed decisions and enter their final year with confidence, connection and purpose.

A Connected Three-Year Journey

Each camp responds to students at a different stage of their pathway development. Together, the camps build self-awareness, broaden experience and strengthen readiness for Local Delivery, VET, Flexible Industry Programs and post-school transitions.

1. Year 10: Explore Possibilities
2. Year 11: Activate Pathways
3. Year 12: Prepare for Success

Year 10

Exploration Camp

Explore what is possible.

Students travel together to Adelaide for three days of individualised work experience aligned with their interests and career goals.

  • - Explore careers in authentic workplaces
  • - Build teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills
  • - Learn to navigate transport, time and unfamiliar environments
  • - Form connections with peers, teachers and employers

Year 11

Activation Camp

Turn growing self-awareness into action.

A responsive program of campus visits, industry conversations and hands-on workshops helps students make informed pathway choices.

  • - Explore TAFE, university, employment and Australian Defence Force options
  • - Connect interests, values and strengths with industries
  • - Understand the Year 11 and 12 steps needed to reach goals
  • - Build confidence, direction and career readiness

Year 12

Readiness Camp

Prepare for the final year with purpose.

A two-day retreat at the beginning of the school year combines workshops, guest speakers and team activities.

  • - Set goals and build motivation
  • - Develop strategies for wellbeing, balance and resilience
  • - Reconnect with peers across schools and shared programs
  • - Begin Year 12 with focus, friendship and support

These experiences make future opportunities through Local Delivery and Pathways and VET more familiar and accessible.
