Bouncing into adventure
August 20, 2026
A visit to BOUNCE Geelong was a program highlight for Bruthen Primary School Take a Break group, with students embracing the chance to be active, challenge themselves and have fun with their friends.
Providing opportunities for students to challenge themselves, build confidence and try new experiences is at the heart of the Take a Break program, and BOUNCE was a great example of this in action.
The trampolines were an instant favourite, giving everyone the opportunity to jump, laugh and test their skills. The high ropes course was another standout, encouraging students to push through challenges while supporting and cheering on their peers.
For many students, the experience was about building confidence and overcoming fears. Reflecting on the day, students shared:
At Bounce I did a high ropes course and at first I didn't like it, but then I got really good and did the whole thing."

Throughout the visit, the group showed plenty of enthusiasm, resilience and encouragement, celebrating each other's wins along the way.
By the end of the session, there were plenty of smiles and a real sense of accomplishment. It was a memorable experience that quickly became a camp favourite.
