These festivities foster imagination, encourage literacy, and bring our school community together, making reading a fun and memorable shared adventure for everyone.

Whether exploring local environments, visiting cultural centres, or welcoming professionals into the classroom, these opportunities spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and foster lifelong learning.

At Marayong Heights Public School, Stage 3 students look forward to the exciting annual camp experience, which alternates each year between an educational trip to Canberra and an action-packed Sports and Recreation camp. The Canberra camp offers students a unique opportunity to explore our nation’s capital, engaging with history, government, and culture through interactive and memorable activities. The Sports and Recreation camp provides a dynamic environment where students participate in a variety of physical challenges, team-building exercises, and outdoor adventures that promote fitness and resilience. Both camps foster independence, teamwork, and personal growth, creating lasting memories and valuable life skills beyond the classroom.
