CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

CAMPS & RETREATS
are an integral part of O'Loughlin Catholic College. They allow students to take a break from the rigour of a school timetable and in its place have the time to stop and learn in a different way. Students explore their own capabilities and boundaries, work as teams, grow in confidence, build relationships with their peers and teachers and develop and explore their own spirituality.
Each year level will go on camp/retreat which has been budgeted in the school fees.

THE ODYSSEY
In Year 11 students at O'Loughlin Catholic College are given the opportunity to undertake a 2-week trip to Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. This trip is affectionately known as "The Odyssey". The Odyssey is held during the final week of Term 2 and the first week of the July break. Students visit places such as Parliament House, Canberra, Dreamworld on the Gold Coast and St Mary's Cathedral and Sydney just to name a few. The stories they tell afterwards are memories that they will keep forever.
