INTENSIVE ENGLISH CENTRE CAMPS

Students in the middle and senior classes at Thornlie Intensive English Centre attend a camp each year and the camps are organised and attended by school staff.

Camps are valuable, language-rich learning experiences that provide students with opportunities to develop English language skills across the curriculum. Camps provide students with important life skills such as independence, friendship, cooperation, leadership, teamwork and care of the environment.

Students are involved in a range of speaking, listening, reading and writing activities across the curriculum before, during and after camps.  Camps form an integral part of the learning program at Thornlie Intensive English Centre and therefore attendance is strongly encouraged.
