Tuesday 15th August was a day to reflect, celebrate and reset for Year 12 students as they headed off to Teen Ranch at Cobbitty following their Trial HSC Examinations. We spent the morning together hearing from Mr Whelan about his own experiences at school and choices he made for his future direction post-school and the necessity to work as a team to achieve the best outcomes before we headed out to a variety of team building activities that encouraged us as a cohort to persevere and rely on each other. These were great fun and some of us faced our fears and tried new things such as horse riding and rock climbing. In the afternoon, we spent some time reflecting on how far we had come in our schooling journey, we received some special letters from people who have supported us on this journey and we looked at how we could continue to support and build each other up as we approach the HSC and life beyond school. The day culminated around a night hike and campfire. Thank you to the teachers who took time out to create this opportunity for us. It will be a day to remember.
