We are thrilled to announce an exciting update for the 2025 Transitions Small Schools Creative Arts Camp, a one-of-a-kind program specifically designed to support Year 5 and 6 students from small schools as they prepare to transition into larger high school environments.

In 2025, students will have the choice of attending the camp at one of two fantastic venues:

  • Warramubi Retreat and Conference Centre, Murrumbateman – Monday 28 to Wednesday 30 July (Term 3 Week 2)
  • Lake Burrendong Sport and Recreation Centre, Lake Burrendong – Monday 8 to Wednesday 10 September (Term 3 Week 10)

This expansion enables more students from regional and rural South and West NSW to participate in this transformative program, now closer to home.

The Camp is a unique opportunity for your students to explore their creative potential, develop lifelong skills, and enter high school with a renewed sense of confidence and enthusiasm.

The camp culminates in a spectacular showcase performance, where students share their creative achievements with their families and friends, leaving them inspired and proud of their accomplishments.

Students have the opportunity to participate in art forms including but not limited to dance, drama, physical theatre/circus art, filmmaking, Aboriginal arts, visual arts and creative crafts.
