Year 7 Camp 2018
Year 7 students visited Fortescue Bay for their 3-day 2-night camp last week, in two groups. Students reported on the camp in our newsletter:
Camping at Fortescue Bay was amazing! We were right on the beach and the view was just fantastic. The tents were great quality and it was perfect weather.
There were lots of marine life such as jellyfish and stingrays. The sand was as white as sand can be and the water was clear.
There was lots of wildlife, too. There were possums, kookaburras and wallabies.
The activities were fun, like the mountain bike riding and kayaking.
This Year 7 camp was so amazing and it is definitely something that I will remember and keep in my heart. Sage Krezja (Guzman)
Raft Building & Snorkeling During the Year 7 camp at Fortescue Bay one of the team-based activities was that we had to work as a team and build a raft and keep it afloat with as many people on it as we could.
It was very hard trying to include everyone’s ideas into the one boat. We also found it tricky to balance everyone’s weight on it without the raft tipping.
In the end it was fun and enjoyable to be able to listen in to everyone’s ideas on how they thought it might work, even with a couple of cheeky distractions from Mr Davey. Tyler Jenni (Bosco)
Surfing at Camp On the second day of camp both Guzman and Siena house went surfing with the Coastrider Surf Academy and we had a blast!
We all put on wetsuits and jumped in the water. The wetsuits were great because we didnt feel the cold water.
The waves were small but we all still caught them. One of my favourite parts was when Dawa stood up and yelled ‘Look at me! I’m surfing!’ then he fell off.
The surfing instructors were all lovely and by the end of the lesson I’m pretty sure we all could stand up on the surf boards. It was a great beach and I would really like to go back there soon. Reese Cubit (Siena)
Year 7 camp was amazing due to all the activities and hanging out with friends. I would like to thank the teachers for making this possible. It was great for us to go on that camp because it helped us make new friends and really helped our teamwork skills.
On the behalf of the Year 7 students at ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ»ÆƬ, thank you to our teachers for putting your time in, we appreciate it. Sascha Collingz (Siena)
