Year 6 Camp Theme

Servant Leadership

This year’s Maranatha Christian School Year 6 camp is centred on servant leadership, guiding our focus on student leadership, Christian values, community and personal growth. On the first evening, students gathered for a devotion exploring what leadership looks like in action through humility, service and Christ-like character.

Throughout camp, students are encourage to seek these opportunities and celebrating acts of servant leadership to one another. Students were asked to write it on a piece of paper making a paper chain, creating a visual reminder of leadership in action. This camp theme will continue to shape our activities, team challenges and daily reflections, encouraging students to lead by serving others in every experience.

Camp Day One

Our Year 6 students were off to an early start this morning, heading to Canberra for the very first time. The atmosphere was full of excitement as they began this journey together. Everyone is travelling well, with several stops along the way, and they are expected to arrive in the early evening.

Students arrived safely in Canberra, enjoyed dinner and a special time of worship together around the campfire to finish their first full day. It was a calm end to the day, with everyone settling in early and sleeping well through their first night away.

Camp Day Two

Students (and Teachers) are enjoying a hearty breakfast as they prepare for a day packed with activities, including a visit to Mount Ainslie Lookout and the Australian War Memorial, followed by lunch at Parliament House to name just a few.

Camp Day Three

Students began Day 3 of camp bright and early this morning, currently on their way for a guided tour of Government House. This will be followed by a driving tour through Canberra’s Embassy and Lodge District. The will morning will end with a tour at the National Portrait Gallery.

After lunch, students will enjoy some free time exploring the popular Pod Playground and Discovery Garden at the National Arboretum.

We are encouraging all students to refuel and prepare with enthusiasm for this afternoon’s visit to Canberra’s Deep Space Communication Complex. Here, they will take part in another guided tour, gaining insight into space communication technology and Australia’s role in global scientific discovery. Very exciting.

Camp Day Four

Students had an action packed day yesterday and had lots of fun. Lights were out early and everyone rested well.

Students are currently on a self-guided visit of Questacon before heading off to the National Capital Exhibition: The Griffin Mission program. Later today students will visit a number of places including the National Gallery of Australia and Old Parliment House.

Year 6 Camp Final Night Devotion

Our Year 6 Canberra camp concluded with a meaningful evening centred on camp theme of Servant Leadership. Guided by a devotion from Mr Ting, students reflected on what it means to lead with humility, serve others selflessly, and model Christ-like character.

Throughout camp, students were encouraged to notice and celebrate acts of servant leadership, recording them as part of a growing paper chain, a visual reminder of leadership in action within our community.

These shared moments of reflection and prayer have helped shape a deeper understanding of leadership, reinforcing the call for each student to lead by serving others in every experience.

Camp Day Five

Students have departed camp Canberra and are on the way home, expected to arrive at Endeavour Hills at 6pm.

It was amazing to see Her Excellency the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC home at Government House during our tour. As well as seeing the Honourable Anthony Albanese MP during question time at Parliament House. The food was great and was fun to be with friends in our cabins.

Olivia / Year 6 Student

It was a privilege to have good food, nice bus rides and going to places that would be limited for the public to go to. And having lots of fun.

Jake / Student

I liked how we went to the Australian Electorate Commission where we got to participate in a mock vote. The earthquake house was also a great experience at Questacon, we felt a 5.8 magnitude earthquake.

Sargun / Year 6 Student

I loved Questacon, the activities were fun, the free fall was a highlight. We got to play with interactive activities about light, and saw a lightning strike demonstration.
