Central Australia Inspires
In the first week of Term 4, an intrepid group of Year 9–11 students and staff boarded an early-morning bus from Camperdown to Alice Springs. The journey gave everyone a rare, first-hand opportunity to lean into Australia’s history, culture, geography and ecology, with bonus lessons like how red dust finds its way into socks and everything you own.
They travelled through Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Watarrka (Kings Canyon) and Alice Springs, coming home with new perspectives, stronger friendships, and memories to last a lifetime—plus a newfound respect for hats, water bottles, insect repellent and sunscreen.
So much packed into 8 days. Thanks again to the staff who gave their time and to parents who facilitated both the early morning drop off and late night pick up!
