Over the school holidays, Albany is hosting two fantastic art exhibitions that feature artworks by our talented St Joseph's students.

Our Year 6 students recently returned from an unforgettable camp at Quaranup, filled with adventure, laughter, and plenty of teamwork. Despite some pockets of wet weather, spirits remained high as students embraced some change of activities with enthusiasm.

Throughout the camp, students enjoyed a wide range of experiences including snorkelling, fishing, hiking, archery, and even a sensory obstacle course completely blindfolded. They also put their creativity to the test with sandcastle building and worked collaboratively to construct shelters. A highlight for many was the nighttime spotlight activity, adding a sense of excitement and adventure to the evening.

The ever popular quiz night organised by Mr B brought plenty of laughs, especially when it didn’t take long for students to correctly identify the Deputy Principal’s baby photo (a black and white clue gave it away!).

We were fortunate to finish our camp with a beautiful sunny day, the perfect ending. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to provide such enriching experiences and are proud of the way our students challenged themselves, supported one another, and made the most of every moment.
