Study tours and camps
Recognising that learning takes place within and beyond the classroom, Seymour College offers Middle School students a number of study tours and outdoor education camps.
These provide students with positive experiences and enjoyment, and assist in developing diverse skills and knowledge through exposure to different learning opportunities and environments.
At Year 6, students participate in an outdoor education camp which focuses on outdoor environmental activities and studies, as well as a study tour where the girls revel in the opportunity to relive history and experience life in a gold mining town.
Year 7s also have two such opportunities. The Year 7 outdoor education camp has an environmental and aquatics focus, with students engaging in a number of aquatic pursuits, including snorkelling and surfing. Small group planning activities emphasise minimal impact camping skills, navigation, orienteering, leadership and mountain bike riding.
An integral part of the Year 7 Civics and Citizenship studies, the Year 7 study tour to Canberra focuses on the Australian system of government and Australian history.
Similarly, two such opportunities exist at Year 8 level: their outdoor education camp has an adventure theme, with major emphasis on aquatic activities, including canoeing, sailing, board sailing, rowing and water skiing, and; an orientation and personal development camp focuses on issues of self-esteem, friendships and rights and responsibilities.
Scott's Creek, Morgan, is the venue of the Year 9 outdoor education camp. Set on the Murray River, this venue is ideal for adventure activities and hence has a strong outdoor emphasis. Canoeing, bush walking, orienteering, ropes/climbing course and camp craft provide challenge, excitement and interest.
