Environmental Circus Camp
Engage Immerse Create Connect
(For students from year 5 and year 6)
This is a unique opportunity for students to engage in dramatic arts activities, immerse in our beautiful Barambah forest environment, create props, costumes and performances, and connect to the wider community on our performance day. Additionally, students will learn how they can lessen their impact on the environment by adopting ecologically sustainable practices.
This camp is designed for students from all levels of dramatic arts experience, no prior experience is required.
Students will participate in two and a half days of workshops, and then preform learnt skills on the performance day. School and community representatives will be invited to attend this special event on October 27th.
