Transitions Small Schools Creative Arts Camp 2024

[intro music]

NARRATOR: It is said they came from a place beyond our wildest dreams, a boundless canvas where stars are born and galaxies collide in a cosmic ballet.

[whoosh]

From out of the mist appeared a majestic spacecraft, resting after its epic journey. Who does it hold? What do they want? Nobody knows.

JACK: Yes, we do. We're just a bunch of schoolkids here at space camp.

HANNAH: And that 'spacecraft' is just a dome that we all hang out in.

NARRATOR: Oh, I see. Sorry about that. Have a great space camp then. Abort mission.

[disco music playing]

JACK: Well, at first, the camp felt a little bit daunting because I had never spent the night without a relative in vicinity. I'm really enjoying it now.

JAKE: I felt nervous because I thought I was not going to make any new friends, but I realised that I made lots of friends.

HANNAH: Now that I'm here, I feel very excited. And I hope to make new friends.

[disco music continues]

LUKA: I believe that the camp's for helping other kids transition from public school to high school.

ALESSANDRO: Strengthen my skills of being able to do things that you might need to do in high school, like changing classes.

GRACE: Just not being scared and going out and doing stuff.

CARTER: Transitioning into bigger places with more people.

CARTER: What has been your favourite activity this camp?

GIRL 1: Definitely circus because we get to wear these super cool costumes, and it's a lot of fun to do. And it's really interesting. And I've honestly loved circus since I was a bit younger.

CAM: What's your favourite activity at camp?

BOY 2: I like creative arts because I get to play with clay. And when I play with clay, it kind of soothes my nerves. That's why I like playing with clay.
