Camps

  • Grades 3/4’s participate in a two-night camp, where teamwork and resilience are cultivated through thrilling outdoor activities, promoting leadership skills and self-discovery.

  • Grades 5/6’s immerse themselves in a two-night camp, where students forge connections, develop problem-solving abilities, and build resilience through teamwork.

Swimming

At Mount Clear Primary School, we offer every student an immersive one-week intensive swimming program with daily lessons, catering to all swimming levels. We believe swimming is a vital life-saving competency and a fantastic form of exercise. Learning to swim not only instils confidence in the water but also promotes physical fitness, coordination, and mental well-being.
