Camps & Excursions

Throughout their time at Forest Street Primary, students will have countless opportunities to participate in camps and excursions.

All excursions are related to, and build on, the learning that is happening in the classroom.

School Camps are an important way for students to build life skills such as independence, resilience and learn valuable skills that cannot be taught in a classroom setting. 

Some of the experiences the students will participate in are:

Cave Hill Creek; for many a first experience away from parents and a experience of Australia's amazing outdoors.

Students will visit Sovereign Hill to participate in an 1850’s goldfields school.

They will visit Earth Ed and Ecolinc to take part in science learning and investigating.

Children will go on excursions to places of interest in Melbourne as well as all over Ballarat.

Forest Street firmly believes in the value of camps. Children and teachers all love attending the camps. Students always come back from camps having grown as individuals and with many new friendships. As valuable as learning at school can be, some things cannot be learned in a classroom – this is the reason for school camps.
