Our camps and excursions are an integral part of our school experience. They are linked to the curriculum and provide the students with the opportunity to attend and participate in a variety of activities.
Prospect Creek participates in a whole school camp two years in a row at a destination within driving distance of our school such as Konomie Environmental Education Centre or Boyne Island Environmental Education Centre.
Every third year, the Year 4-6 students participate in a Small School Cluster Camp to Canberra with the fellow Callide Valley Small Schools: Goovigen, Jambin, Mt Murchison and Wowan. There is information sessions leading up to the camp which all Year 4-6 families are encouraged to attend.
Our P&C endorses all of our school camps and excursions. We maintain electronic communication with home. Students and staff members contribute to regular Facebook updates from camp. Whilst the cost of camp is rising, we encourage parents to put aside a small amount each week for the duration of your child's schooling life. The P&C contributes a significant amount of their annual fundraising to subsidise the cost of the whole school and cluster camps for families. Support of these fundraisers is beneficial to all students.
Some excursions and school camps require a payment to participate. These payments have a closure or cut-off date for the payment to be paid. This is essential as bookings must be confirmed, payments made by us and banking completed. When possible, the school uses funds from RREAP grants to subside the cost on families.
These cut-off dates are publicised when excursion notifications are sent home and are set with ample time for permission slips and payments to be returned.
