Camps & Activities at Wentworth
Learning at Wentworth extends well beyond the classroom. Our camps and activities programme provides students with opportunities to develop independence, resilience, and confidence through real-world experiences.
From outdoor education to leadership opportunities and co-curricular activities, students are encouraged to explore their interests, challenge themselves, and build strong connections with others.
Outdoor Education and Camps
Camps and outdoor education experiences are a key feature of the programme for students in Years 4–10. These experiences are designed to develop independence, resilience, collaboration, and personal responsibility, while allowing students to engage with learning beyond the classroom.
Programmes may include residential camps, outdoor and adventure-based activities, and team-building challenges. All experiences are carefully planned and supervised, with a strong focus on safety, wellbeing, and positive participation.
Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
Wentworth offers students the opportunity to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels.
The Award provides a structured framework for personal development through physical activity, skills development, service, and adventurous journeys. Participation encourages commitment, perseverance, and independence, and is internationally recognised as a significant personal achievement.
Clubs and Co-Curricular Activities
Students are encouraged to explore a wide range of interests beyond the classroom through clubs and activities. Options may include chess, debating, coding, robotics, EPro8, and Kapa Haka, among others.
These activities provide opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and the development of new skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
Leadership Through Activities
Leadership development is embedded throughout school life, with opportunities available from Primary through to College. Students are encouraged to take on leadership roles appropriate to their age and stage, including class responsibilities, House roles, team captains, and service opportunities.
At senior level, Year 13 Prefects participate in a Leadership Camp, which supports their transition into senior leadership roles and focuses on teamwork, responsibility, service, and leading by example within the school community.
Together, these experiences help students develop confidence, independence, and a strong sense of responsibility — preparing them for success both within and beyond school.
