Strive in all areas of human endeavour from subject-based disciplines to arts, outdoor education, sports and leisure-time activities. Become confident, active, resilient, self-reliant and successful lifelong learners. Grow in faith through Religious and Values Education, corporate worship, and service to ors in school, local community and international projects. The curriculum, co-curriculum and pastoral care program have a global perspective, preparing students for citizenship in a democratic, multicultural society. They are encouraged to: Be mselves, showing tolerance and respect for rights of ors. Appreciate social, religious and cultural differences.

5 Sleeping Bag We often have inquiries about wher a minus 5 rating is necessary. The answer is yes. Cold wear has been experienced on all year level camps. It is easy to unzip a sleeping bag to cool down but a lack of insulation will mean a cold, uncomfortable night. The overall volume of packed sleeping bag is also a consideration.very cheap sleeping bags usually achieve insulation with bulky (and sometimes inefficient) material. We suggest you purchase a bag from a reputable outdoor equipment supplier. It should not be heavier than 2 kilograms and should not take up more than 13 to 15 litres when fully compressed. Fill material options: Syntic material Advantage - it retains some insulating properties if it gets wet. Disadvantage - generally heavier and bulkier than down. Down (fears) Inwarmer. Week 8 and 9 of Term 1 Woodcroft College launched Advantage - usually lighter and Year 8 Camp, South. Disadvantage - colder if fill material getsinaugural wet.

A liner can be made by sewing a ir countless hours in organising and running for day. The students rotated through surfing, sheet in half.

Material options Silk - Comfortable except in hot nights, lightweight, silky feel isn t to everyone s liking. Can be expensive. Cotton - Comfortable in a range of temperatures, heavy and bulky, cheapest option. Syntic - Ensure you like feel of material, mid-range price, lighter and less bulky than cotton.
6 Sleeping Mat A closed cell foam mat or self-inflating mat will insulate students from cold ground. The sleeping mat also provides comfort so it is tempting to purchase a thick and more comfortable mattress. A balance needs to be found as it is impractical to take a bulky mat on a four day bushwalk due to limited space and weight available in a backpack. Students will carry ir own gear on a four-day hike on Quest (Year 9). Material options Closed cell foam - Does not absorb water (only surface will get wet), economical, durable. Will not fail. Self-Inflating - More comfortable; packs smaller; if punctured, provides little or no insulation or comfort. Closed Cell Foam Mat Self-inflating Mat Size comparison - A packed mat next to a water bottle Thermals Thermals are designed to retain heat and keep you warm in adverse wear. Even camps in Terms 1 and 4 have experienced wet and cold wear. The Year 9 (Quest) and Year 10 (Tuilkilkey) camps require higher quality garments due to ir remote nature. As this is a size specific garment, you may choose to borrow or purchase cheaper garments for earlier years and invest in quality rmals for Quest and Tuilkilkey. Material - Polypropylene or merino wool (not cotton as it loses its insulating qualities when wet). Do not use active wear as rmals (e.g. 2XU, body armour) as se will hold moisture on skin and take heat away from body. 6 Outdoor Education Equipment Overview
7 Socks Woollen socks are ideal for outdoor activities as y keep your feet warm when wet. Explorer is an economical and reliable brand. Quality socks can also help to prevent blisters, especially when hiking for multiple days (Quest and Tuilkilkey). Material - Wool In Week 8 and 9 of Term 1 Woodcroft College launched inaugural Year 8 Camp, South. P revious Year 8 camps have always focussed on establishing a positive school community, having fun and building resilience in our students.

8 Day Pack The day pack is required to transport all necessities for a day s activity. A bag of similar size to College backpack is appropriate and bag should have a waist belt and two adjustable shoulder straps to make pack more comfortable to carry. Size L loading capacity. Design - The pack needs to be sturdy with a waist belt (pic 2) and two adjustable straps (pic 3). First Aid Kit Staff carry comprehensive First Aid Kits and will attend to students in event of a significant incident. The personal first aid kit is required to ensure students learn how to treat ir own minor injuries. All students participate in a first aid course before Tuilkilky(Year 10). Not all items listed below are required for each year level camp. Please see individual gear lists to determine which items need to be taken; Personal medication labelled (e.g. Asthma puffer, epipen) Sunscreen Insect repellent (no aerosol, it damages waterproofing of tents and can trigger asthma) Blister kit (Elastoplast sticky tape, a 5cm square piece of foam that can be shaped to go around a blister, gauze, 2-3 antiseptic wipes) Band-Aids we recommend bringing fabric style as y are more durable.

9 Head Torch A head torch allows students to complete tasks with ir hands free as y do not have to hold torch. They come in a vast range of qualities and prices. We recommend an LED torch with 30 lumens or more of brightness, and which takes standard batteries (AA or AAA). Bring a spare set of batteries.
