The last full week of school is spent at Camp
Tara - Holy Cross where the students work in
multi-grade small groups of eight to ten
children. The students experience learning around them, not just
a typical daily schedule. Project Inside Out is a school program which challenges
students to apply basic skills in an alternative school setting at Camp
Holy Cross-Tara in Malletts Bay. Students have the opportunity to explore
and expand the basic school curriculum in a variety of hands-on activities
and life experiences.
Project Inside Out also
provides an opportunity for teachers, parents, community members and
various performing artists to work together with and for the children of
Porters Point School. During the 2005/2006 school year approximately150 adults were
involved in making the program a success for the 26th consecutive
year. Some parents have remained involved with Project Inside Out for many
years even though their children have moved to another school.
Project Inside Out is
totally funded by the money students earn through fundraising and
donations from members of the community. Selling wrapping paper, ribbon,
gift tags, etc. through Sally Foster is the major fundraiser and
it is the only one for Project Inside
Out where
children are asked to 'sell'. Even though it seems that the children are
involved in a lot of fundraising projects throughout the year, we ask that
you please support this one for Project
Inside Out. Parents and community support
have made Project Inside Out
the wonderful and unique program it has been for more
than 25 years
Each year second graders enter a contest for the
Project Inside Out t-shirt design.
