Spend a week away from home at our festival site picking up new creative skills and exploring different art forms. You might give a Drake track a new flavour on the steel drums, design a costume from upcycled materials, put on a photography exhibition, learn all about production, or anything in between. But one thing’s for sure – you’ll leave feeling capable of more than you ever thought possible.

Next up? Join forces with other NCSers fresh back from their week of outdoor adventures. You’ll enjoy another five days away from home with your new-found mates, getting a crash course in adulting and picking up skills to set you up for life. By the time you’re done, you’ll be speaking to a room full of people without freezing up and know a whole load more about what you want from life after school.

Ok, so this is a VIPOYE (Very Important Part Of Your Experience), naturally. By this point, you’ll have achieved A LOT. Now it’s time to be recognised. You’ve got to go out with a bang, right?
“...Is there an after party?”, we hear you scream. Yeah, kinda!
