Thanks camp staff

Dear year 7 camp staff,

We so appreciate all your help on camp. It was really good. We loved camp but are really looking forward to coming home to our family. All my friends an I loved rock climbing the best. My teacher, Miss Pincott, help motivate us by giving us rewards when we achieved our goal and went outside our comfort zone.

Miss Ryan was also able to get the best from her home room with a clever points system.

We learnt that Mrs Santos is very good at archery, and Mr Fenech is good at everything else.

We are just about to leave for our last activity before lunch and then our bus trip back home. Our teachers have told us that we should be back by 4.00 but you should keep checking this page for updates on our trip home.

Good morning

We are all packed up ready for departure at about 12.30. But not before the last two activities.

D8 at the Leap of Faith

Mr Fenech has been keeping a close eye on his homeroom group, D8. Here are a few pictures from the first activity on Wednesday, the Leap of Faith. With a lot of encouragement from the instructors, teachers and students of the homeroom, many of the group who were somewhat apprehensive of the thought of jumping from a 10m platform were able to overcome this fear and jump.

"Scary" So Laura of D5 thinks prior to taking the leap of faith. We will return later to see what her thoughts are after jumping from the leap of faith.

Another great session of activities has just been completed by the Year 7's. There is one more activity scheduled for today before dinner and some night time activities.

Time for D6 and D10 to climb

D10 Leaping for faith

"I just did the leap of faith"
So said Sarah of D10
"The poles look very short from the ground, however when you start climbing and eventually get to the top, it is so high." She said
The students from D10 have spent this morning climbing the 10m poles to the platform of the Leap of Faith. Mrs Brailey informs the year 7 team that the level of participation, encouragement and enthusiasm have been fantastic.

D5 and D9 activity 1

The two homeroom groups involved in climbing activities this morning are going well. They seem to be getting more confident with the equipment and are getting over their initial nerves.
