Slade Point State School has provided numerous camping and excursion experiences over the years.
Every second year we aim to go camping within our local area, Seaforth, Airlie Beach Big4, Cape Hillsborough and Eungella National Park.
The camp program is currently being reviewed and is aimed to be called a retreat, this will be updated for 2028.
For 2027 the Year 5 and 6 will have an excursion accessing all local Mackay spots, The Lagoon and Canelands.
Each year our teachers from all year levels have provided valuable learning opportunities linked to their curriculum units through excursions and/or had special visitors such as the fire department present informative talks at our school.
Our teachers are committed to continue to investigate learning activities external to the school environment and assist with keeping the on-cost to parents to a minimum. Most classes led by their class teacher have participated in fundraising events to help lower the cost of the camp or excursion.
Slade Point community is a beautiful sandy tree-filled area bordering with the Pacific Ocean but it is important our students be exposed to other environments and educational sites.
