NEW FROM YEAR 8

Great fun at camp Gorra!

The Year Eights have just returned from five days at Camp Gorra. It was a great opportunity for students to get to know each other and to experience the beautiful surroundings in the hills of the Gorra Region. The teachers who went on the trip-Mr Harding, Ms Rafferty and Ms Huang-reported having a wonderful time and that the Year Eight group was very well-behaved and enthusiastic. “We were fortunate this year because it wasn’t as cold and windy as it usually is and the river was full enough to enjoy canoeing,” said Ms Rafferty.

The students were organized into groups and participated in a number of activities that promoted teamwork, planning and cooperation. For the more adventurous students, there were opportunities to try the giant swing, rock climbing, and a ropes course. Of course, canoeing was very popular, with apparently a record number of wet people whose canoeing skills weren’t quite up to the more challenging parts of the Gorra River.

The evenings were also busy, with night walks through the bush, a movie, a bush dance, and a trivia night. Everyone was surprised by a special visitor on the trivia night-a cheeky possum who came out of the trees thinking there might be biscuits for him!

Photographs of the camp can be found on the Year Eight noticeboard.

Some students say...

“The giant swing was awesome. The camp staff were fantastic and helped me get over my fear of heights. I couldn’t believe I could do it. Totally inspirational stuff” Lauren 8C

“I laughed so much when my friend fell in the river but then I did too! Luckily it was so sunny that we dried off quickly” Peter 8B

“The best activity was our night walks through the bush. There were so many stars in the sky and we even saw a koala! Not to mention the drinking chocolate around the fire.” Nina 8A

“I’d like to thank the staff at the camp, especially the cooks. I was worried about the food before I arrived but it was the best. Yum! Don’t tell Mum!” Victor 8A
