On the 7th - 9th of May, you may have noticed the Year 6s went to Mylor Adventure Camp! We went to make memories, bond with friends, make new ones on the way and to experience new things out of our comfort zones! 

We did fun activities together such as the giant swing, flying fox, bridge building, raft making, challenge obstacle course and archery tag. We were going to have a bonfire, but the drought stopped that from happening sadly. Instead, we stacked up Jenga blocks and stuck artificial candles on them. We gave praise to God like we do at MMP. The bus ride was an hour long but totally worth the wait. On the 1st day, we brought our own recess and lunch, but we were blessed with delicious food for dinner and dessert. The staff were lovely and really nice. Our host, Jed, was really funny and kind. We learnt a game called Gaga ball (no, it has nothing to do with Lady Gaga!) which is basically Slap Ball in a little wooden dome and you can’t touch the walls. Overall, Year 6 camp was really fun and a great way to get outside.

All the Year 6s went to camp on the 7th to the 9th of May. We went to Mylor Adventure Camp so we can step out of our comfort zone, make new friends, memories and to have a break from school. 

My best highlight of camp was when we went on the giant swing, flying fox and raft making in the swimming pool and the best part was we got to have free time in the pool!

I was not confident but now I am because I went to Year 6 camp and I faced my fears of heights and getting away from home. I really recommend this camp when you get in Year 6. Overall Mylor Adventure Camp was so much fun and it was a good bonding time with my friends and other people.

My name is Daniel, and on the 7th of May 2025 we went on an unforgettable camp to Mylor Adventure Camp in the Hills. From the moment we arrived, I felt excited to explore the outdoors and try new activities. We took part in team-building games, hiked through the bush, which was both challenging and fun. One of my favourite moments was sitting around the campfire at night praising and worshiping with my friends. The cabins were cosy, and the food was great too. I enjoyed learning more about myself and others during our sleeping times. The leaders were friendly and encouraging, making sure everyone felt safe and included. This camp helped me build confidence, make new friends, and create memories. It was a great experience that I’ll never forget!

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part, we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.

This year Bethany Christian School will be celebrating National Reconciliation Week throughout Term 2, Week 5. Students will engage in learning experiences that, help students to develop and express a commitment to seeking reconciliation and building right relationships with First Nations peoples. As part of this learning, some classes will have the opportunity to participate in cultural cooking and dancing workshops led by Australian Cultural Services.

The week of learning will culminate in a whole school Reconciliation Assembly in the PAC from 2-3pm on Friday 30th May. During this assembly, families and friends are invited to hear our students share their learning and see a dance performance from those who attended the dance workshops.

Kind regards,

In beautiful sunny conditions our students represented our school well both on and off the track. Each student did their best to cover the distance in the shortest possible time. Cross Country is inherently challenging and was fantastic to see the students embrace this challenge. There were multiple students who achieved results in the top three. Every student showed great grit and effort and despite it being an individual event all students worked well as a team. Well done Cross Country team!
