STUDENT COUNCIL CAMP

During Week 7, our Student Council embarked on an unforgettable Leadership Camp in beautiful Wallaroo – and what a camp it was! With energy, enthusiasm and a whole lot of teamwork, our student leaders proved they're ready to take on the year ahead.

The camp kicked off with a town-wide scavenger hunt that challenged students' map-reading skills, problem-solving and collaboration. It was fantastic to see teams working together, navigating unfamiliar places and rising to each challenge with determination and good humour.

In the afternoon, we made our way to the beach, where students took part in team-building activities designed to strengthen trust, communication and leadership under pressure. 

One of the highlights of the camp was the creative work students did along the way. They crafted motivational chants that showcased their team spirit and passion for making a difference. They also created powerful leadership metaphors using objects they discovered along the shoreline. A reminder that leadership can be found in the most unexpected places. 

It was inspiring to witness the growth, reflection and camaraderie throughout the day. We’re incredibly proud of this year’s Student Leaders and excited to see how they will channel their experience and enthusiasm into positive change at BHS.
