At Hamilton School, we know that learning comes to life when students are immersed in real-world experiences. Our camps, excursions and incursions are carefully planned across all year levels to deepen understanding, spark curiosity and build connections to the curriculum
Camps
Hamilton State School offers students in Year 4, 5 and 6 the opportunity to attend a school camp. Year 4 is offered an overnight camp where students gain valuable experience in a camp setting to be ready for future years. A combined Year 5 and Year 6 Camp is offered, which alternates between a bush and beach environment.
These camps are planned to help support the school curriculum and also to help the students develop personal and social skills.
Excursions and Incursions
Excursions and Incursions vary at each year level and are designed to complement what students are learning in class. Whether it's a trip to the museum, a visit from a science expert, exploring local Indigenous culture, or participating in hands-on environmental education, these experiences are directly linked to the curriculum and enrich student learning in meaningful ways.
Families are informed of all whole class camps, excursions and incursions at the first P&C meeting of the year for endorsement. This proposal outlines approximate costings and the schedule for each year level.
