Sony Foundation Children's Holiday Camp 2025

A Life-Changing Experience of Care, Connection and Compassion

In December 2025, Kinross Wolaroi School will proudly host its first-ever Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp, joining a powerful national initiative that has been transforming lives since 1999.

From 7 to 9 December 2025, selected children with additional needs will be welcomed into our school community for a three-day, two-night camp filled with fun, friendship and unforgettable experiences.

What is the Sony Foundation Camp?

The Sony Foundation Camp is a unique program that gives our senior students the opportunity to become full-time companions and carers for children with disabilities. Under the guidance of experienced staff and supported by qualified nursing and medical professionals, students take on the responsibility of caring for their camper 24 hours a day — offering a much-needed break for families and creating bonds that leave a lasting impact on everyone involved.

For the children attending, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a short holiday away from home in a safe, nurturing environment, with personalised attention and a fun, flexible program tailored to their interests and needs. For our senior students, it’s a powerful, hands-on experience in empathy, leadership and service — and often described as one of the most rewarding moments of their school journey.

Location & Accommodation

Campers will stay in Kinross Wolaroi School’s comfortable boarding accommodation in Orange, with full access to school facilities, resources and outdoor spaces. Activities will be adapted to meet the needs and preferences of the children, with an emphasis on inclusion, joy and connection.
