Camps and excursions

​

At Everton Park State High School, we recognise the important role that camps and excursions play in enriching the educational experience. These activities provide students with opportunities to develop independence, leadership, teamwork and real-world learning—all of which align with our commitment to Creating Bright Futures.

Over the years, we have offered a variety of camps tailored to year levels, subject areas, and student interests:

• Year 7 Camp: Held in Semester 1, this camp has traditionally focused on building strong peer connections and fostering a positive, inclusive start to high school. It supports students in developing a sense of belonging and commitment to our school values as well as those of the ANZAC character values of courage, perseverance, mateship and sacrifice.

• Subject camps, like Senior Biology Camps to Moreton Bay Research Station and surrounding field work sites as part of the Senior Biology Curriculum.

• Year 11 Leadership Camp: Held in Semester 1, the purpose of the camp is to develop teamwork and leadership qualities which aim to inspire and empower students to live purpose filled lives in unity with others.

Excursions

Excursions​ are held periodically to complement the work covered in a wide variety of subjects and year levels. Excursions are approved annually by the P&C Associations. Details of all excursions are sent home via QParents.

Excursions are held periodically to complement the work covered in a wide variety of subjects and year levels. Excursions are approved annually by the P&C Association. Details of all excursions are sent home via QParents and are designed to support curriculum delivery, enhance engagement, and provide real-world learning experiences. These activities help students connect classroom learning to practical applications and often involve visits to cultural institutions, workplaces, natural environments, and community organisations. Participation in excursions is strongly encouraged, as they form an important part of the holistic education offered at Everton Park State High School.​

While these camps have been a valued part of our school's history, we’re always exploring new and exciting opportunities that reflect the interests and needs of our current students. Our aim is to continually evolve and expand our camps and excursions program to ensure every experience supports student growth and aligns with our shared vision of preparing young people for a bright and successful future.

We look forward to sharing more information with families as new camps and excursions are developed throughout the year.
