Glen Mhor Outdoor Education Centre
Comments from our Teachers:
Our compliments to the outstanding staff at Glen Mhor for an amazing three day adventure despite the not-so-cooperative weather. It was always evident by the smiles on our students' faces that they thoroughly enjoyed their experience. In fact, a day after our return to school I overheard a group of our students singing camp songs on the school bus!
