2025 Programs - Students will be offered a choice of three different options

Maroon Outdoor Education Centre
As a core part of our Year 11 Personal Development Program, (PDP) Year 11 students will experience a week at the Maroon Outdoor Education Centre. An opportunity to immersed themselves in activities designed to build leadership skills, resilience, and teamwork in a stunning outdoor setting.
The camp is targeted at two main groups of students:
those with leadership aspirations (e.g. School Captain, Prefect, Senior Leader and House Captain roles). Except under exceptional circumstances, students will be ineligible for these roles if they do not attend camp, and
those who, despite not wanting a leadership role, have a positive, enthusiastic attitude and want to challenge themselves and improve as an individual.
Leadership Camp at Maroon Outdoor Education Centre - Numbers will be capped and places will be allocated in order of the QParents consent being received.
Students will be invoiced once consent has been received. Cost - $305.00.
Option 2 - Work Experience
The work experience program provides a formal arrangement where students participate in short term placement with employers who will provide insights into the industry and the workplace in areas the student is interested in. Employers take time to plan and organise activities, tours and provides students with an experience of what it is like in their industry. Students can find their own work experience at no cost, or can register with School Community Industry Partnership Service to secure a placement for a fee of $200.00.
