Camp Konka builds the KDVP Grade 8 team
The King David High School Victory Park (KDVP) Grade 8 orientation camp is an opportunity for new pupils to bond with each other, the staff, and the Student Representative Council (SRC). This year’s camp was held at Camp Konka in Rustenburg, where the challenging adventure-based programme brought out the true individual, and showed their ability to work with their peers.

The camp is designed to integrate new pupils while focusing on issues such as teamwork and leadership development. By doing this and encouraging pupils to step outside of their comfort zone, the Grade 8s learned a lot about themselves and group dynamics.
Matric pupil Joshua Dove, who is part of the SRC, had the luxury of welcoming his little brother Ilan (Grade 8) to the KDVP family. When asked about the experience of the camp, Ilan said, “Orientation was great and really fun, but it was special for me as I had my big brother there to help and lead me. We had such an enjoyable and meaningful time because he was there to guide me and show me the ropes.”
