The start of senior school is an exciting milestone, and for the Grade 8 students at St Mary’s DSG, this journey began with an unforgettable adventure at the annual Grade 8 Bonding Camp. The camp is designed to foster teamwork, resilience, and camaraderie, and it provides the perfect setting for the girls to form new friendships while stepping out of their comfort zones.

Throughout the camp, students participated in a series of outdoor challenges that tested their problem-solving skills, collaboration, and perseverance. From thrilling obstacle courses to team-building exercises, each activity was crafted to encourage trust and mutual support, ensuring that every girl felt a sense of belonging in her new school environment.

Beyond the physical challenges, the camp was an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. By working together to overcome obstacles, the girls learned valuable lessons in leadership, communication, and adaptability—skills that will support them throughout their senior school years.

The experience was not just about adventure but about creating lasting memories. Whether gathered around a campfire sharing stories or cheering each other on during activities, the students left the camp with stronger bonds, renewed confidence, and an enthusiastic outlook for the year ahead.

As the girls return to the classroom, they bring with them the spirit of teamwork and resilience cultivated at camp—qualities that will shape their journey at St Mary’s DSG. Here’s to an exciting new chapter filled with growth, friendship, and success!
