Shine Program
During the Assumption Term, Year 8 students have the opportunity to attend a two-and-a-half-day camp out the College’s Good Samaritan Campus in Coragulac. The main purpose of the camp is to allow students to challenge and extend themselves by attempting activities that they would not normally have an opportunity to undertake.
