Camps and Excursions

Here at Delacombe we offer a comprehensive, school-wide camps and excursions program.
A highlight of the school has been the annual Boys, Books, Blokes and Bytes program which was recognised as a finalist in the 2011 Victorian Education Excellence Awards. This program works in partnership with the regional library, Phoenix Community College and the University of Ballarat. The program brings together boys and their fathers, or a significant male role model, with the aim of boosting the boys' literacy and enjoyment of reading
