Senior students at St Margaret Mary’s School, Spotswood, went on their annual camp recently … with a few differences.

Considering the current limitations, teachers at the school prepared the camp for students to enjoy in their own homes. They put together camp packs for the children to pick up at school to support their camp experience, including activities and hot chocolate with marshmallows. The students all shared their camp dinner together online.

‘We’re a resilient community, and our students and teachers were able to demonstrate that during the camp’, said principal Andrea Richards. ‘We’re all making huge sacrifices at the moment, but these students have shown themselves and the rest of the school that we’re still able to mark those special moments in the year, even if it means doing things differently.’
