St Peter’s College is delighted to be joining with Wilderness School to host a Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp for children with special needs. This exciting venture will take place over three days from 30 September to 2 October 2018 (first week of the Term 3 holiday break) in the Boarding House at Saints.
The Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camps are a wonderful initiative that started in 1999 and have gone from strength to strength with around 30 camps Australia-wide. The purpose of the camp is to provide an enjoyable experience for the children and the chance for parents, carers and siblings to enjoy some respite.
Our Year 11 students have a chance to experience the joys and challenges that come with the privilege of caring for a child with special needs, in what is life-changing experience for all.
The students will be supported by a team of teaching and medical staff and support crew made up of year 10 students. This venture provides an opportunity to not only experience incredible personal growth but to contribute to a common goal. At the same time, much fun is had by all as a range of engaging and enjoyable activities have been planned.
Sony Children’s Holiday camps leave a lasting impact. For more information please go to: https://www.friends4youth.com/causes/holidaycamps/
We look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to support the camp through sponsorship, donations or practical help. For more information please contact me at rpearson@stpeters.sa.edu.au.
