The Year 8’s had the privilege of attend their Surf Camp this term. Traveling down to Angelsea and participating in a variety of activities and growing together as a year level. Some year 8’s have shared their experience of camp with us.
Student Reflection
Day One:
On the first day of camp when I arrived to school in the morning, I felt and urge of excitement and was ready to go on this fun and exciting adventure. Once we arrived at the tree surfing me and my friends were so excited and couldn’t wait to get up on the course and once the teachers explain how we are meant to do the tree surfing We went and did all of the courses and had so much fun. The teachers at camp took good care of us and enjoyed the experience alongside us. Overall, we had an amazing, cool and memorable camp.

Day Two:
On the second day of camp, students woke up in their cabins and got ready for an exciting day ahead. After breakfast and completing their duty groups, everyone was split into groups for activities. Some students tried archery and mini golf, while others worked in teams, with boys and girls competing to build the best bush shelters using twigs and branches. In the afternoon, students enjoyed surfing, boogie boarding, paddle boarding, and kayaking, while also having a break and enjoying the wonderful sandwiches. We had dinner and time to get ready, to end the day with a fun disco night where everyone got to wear costumes, danced and celebrated together.

Day Three:
On the third day of camp, we packed up our cabins and make sure they were spotless. After that we went to the dining room to have some breakfast before we went to the chocolate factory. We tasted a variety of chocolates there. We also got to buy stuff and try free samples. As we headed back to camp, we were full of energy. When we headed back to camp we at lunch and played for a little bit before we headed back to school. Thank you for all the teachers that came to camp with us, Mrs Hartnup, Mr Wagner, Ms MacAleese, Ms Manariti, Mr Fakhry, Ms O’Mera and Ms Uribe. Also, Coastal Forest Lodge for making this happen.
