Allegra School Camp: An Unforgettable Journey to Sydney
From Tuesday, 11th June to Friday, 14th June, 44 Allegra students and 6 staff members embarked on an exciting excursion to Sydney. The trip was a resounding success, with students enjoying every moment and representing Allegra with exemplary behaviour and enthusiasm.
Day 1: Departure and Arrival The journey began early on Tuesday morning with students meeting at Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour at 6:30 AM. After a smooth drive south with rest stops at Taree and Heatherbrae, the group arrived at Land’s Edge Accommodation by 1:30 PM. After unpacking and settling in, students explored Kent Street and enjoyed afternoon tea, followed by an immersive experience at Dark Spectrum and Entermission Virtual Reality Escape Room. The day concluded with a delicious dinner and a good night's rest.
Day 2: Exploring Sydney Wednesday kicked off with a hearty breakfast before a stroll to Paddy's Market. Students had the opportunity to shop and enjoy lunch before heading to the Capitol Theatre for a spectacular performance of "Chicago." The afternoon included free time at Westfield, a visit to the Sydney Eye, and dinner at the Westfield Shopping Mall. The evening was highlighted by a walk through the Botanic Gardens to the Opera House and a Vivid Sydney night walk, showcasing the city's vibrant light displays.
Day 3: Fun at Luna Park and Camping Adventure Thursday was packed with thrills at Luna Park, where students spent the morning enjoying the rides. After lunch, they took a bus to Woolwich Wharf and a ferry to Cockatoo Island. There, they set up tents, had free time to explore, and enjoyed a BBQ dinner. The day ended with a cozy campfire, where students toasted marshmallows, sang songs, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
Day 4: Homeward Bound Friday morning began with breakfast and a ferry ride back to Woolwich Wharf. The group then made their way back to Coffs Harbour, with rest stops along the way for lunch and stretching. The students arrived back home by 4:45 PM, tired but filled with wonderful memories.
We would like to extend our thanks to the teachers—Dany, Reggie, Fernando, Kelly, Danielle, and Benn—whose energy and efforts made this exciting adventure possible. Their dedication ensured that the trip was not only educational but also incredibly fun for all involved.
Overall, the Sydney excursion was a fantastic experience, filled with learning, laughter, and lasting memories. Our students represented Allegra with pride, and we couldn't be prouder of their conduct and enthusiasm throughout the trip.
Thank you to everyone who made this journey a remarkable success!
