Outdoor Education is an important part of the Carey learning journey, and Camp Toonallook serves as a home away from home for our students in Years 4 to 7, who visit each year to explore and learn within our 10 acres of natural bushland.
Over the years, Carey has maintained Toona as a basic yet functional camp to meet the educational needs of our students. The goal of our 2025 Community Giving Appeal was to elevate Toona and refresh the entire site, including purpose-built gathering spaces, a new outdoor chapel and sustainable irrigation systems, ensuring the site remains relevant and valued into the future.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we are delighted to announce that we’ve reached our goal to upgrade Camp Toonallook! Together with Carey's matching funds, we have been able to begin construction!
The upgrade of Toona is on track for completion by February 2026, and we would like to thank the Carey community for being such an important part of this journey.
You can still support this important project here. Families who make a gift of $1000 or greater will have their names in our permanent onsite honour board and be invited to a day at Toona in 2026. Thank you!
