Year seven and eight students from Mansfield Steiner School kicked off term three with a two-night camp at Mt Buller, creating memories that will definitely last well beyond the winter season.

The 33 students stayed at Spark Lodge and had the choice between skiing or snowboarding.

After daily lessons with professional instructors, they spent their time exploring all the mountain had to offer.

The students' enthusiasm was clear when tired teachers asked on Wednesday night who would be interested in night skiing - an impressive 31 out of 33 hands went up immediately.

"It was beautiful, snowing and skiing under lights," said teacher Kate Hood, capturing the magical atmosphere that drew nearly the entire group back onto the mountain despite their fatigue.

The camp concluded with a sculpture building competition on the final day, giving students the opportunity to showcase their creativity alongside their mountain adventures.

The successful camp provided Mansfield Steiner School students with new skills on the slopes, valuable experiences in independence and teamwork, and memories from their time in the alpine environment of Mt Buller.

In addition to this camp, Mansfield Steiner School primary students began their cross country ski program at Mt Stirling, while the year nine students departed for their four-day Mt Bogong ski camp, making it a busy and exciting start to the winter season for the entire school community.
