Last week, our Year 9 Students attended their camp. We asked some students what they thought about their time:
What I really liked about Camp was having the opportunity to be in an outdoor environment with my peers as this allowed us to work as a team through challenging activities. It also helped us socialise with people in our grade that we may have never spoken to before plus make lots of fun memories. Another thing I liked was the River Run activity. It was a very competitive and exciting activity that consisted of mini water activities such as obstacle courses and an enjoyable ride back to shore by floating across the river on a donut floaty. I will never forget that my group of girls and my PC teacher (Mrs Ellerman) won that activity.
The most important thing I learnt was how to pack light as we had to hike to our campsite with only a rucksack on our backs. We had to prioritise packing only essential items. Hiking in the extreme heat and walking such long distances was challenging but doing it with my friends made it much more enjoyable.

When I think about my camp I think of good and bad memories and how I learnt a little bit about the wildlife and working my way around a map and compass by shooting bearings. Yet some of the best memories I have of the camp were the free time I got with my group, definitely swimming and floating down the river. The food was probably the best camp food I’ve ever had and the many other things we did. But all and all camp was pretty cool being able to have three days outside of school with my friends.
