At Yarra Hills Secondary College Camps are offered to students at all year levels:
Year 7 – Orientation Camp
3 days/2 nights
The College regards the Year 7 Orientation Camp as one of the most important in the camps program. Its primary aim is to help students to settle in and feel part of Yarra Hills Secondary College, by helping to build their relationships with teachers and fellow students. The success of this camp in the past has formed many positive and lasting friendships amongst Year 7’s.

Outdoor Ed Marine for our year 9 offers boating, sailing, snorkelling, beach walks, overnight coastal hike, canoeing, kayaking, surfing or stand up paddle boarding.
Additional Camps and Tours
The College offers additional camps and tours for instrumental music students and outdoor education students.
Music Camp
Music students from Years 7 to 12 will be involved in a 3 day music rehearsal camp. Music Camp is a great opportunity for musicians from Mooroolbark and Mt Evelyn Campuses to work closely with each other, through combined rehearsals, sectional tutorials and on a social level. It is especially important for the Year 7 music students to attend the camp and all students who play in one of the COLLEGE CONCERT BANDS are expected to attend the camp.
New Zealand/Singapore Music Tour
In previous years Senior Concert Band members were able to attend a College Music Tour to New Zealand but in 2023 the tour will be taking place in Singapore. This tour takes place every two to three years. Students participate in both music and cultural activities whilst on tour.
Here are some highlights from the 2024 New Zealand Tour:
