Year 7 Camp

Year 7 attended a three day camp to The Tops Conference Centre, Stanwell Tops from Wednesday, 27 February to Friday, 1 March.  We participated in many activities such as Go Karting, High Ropes, the Giant Swing, the Beach Walk and Survivor. The camp was designed to connect with other students in Year 7, their House group and cabin groups. It was great to see that students were always keen to try something new as it boosted the girls’ courage, confidence and happiness, and they were always prepared to take a challenge. We made friends with girls that we had never spoken to, ours bonds with our  friends became stronger and we became more active. We always looked out for our peers and we never left anyone behind.

Activities were always something we looked forward to other than the food times. Go Karting was fun even though it looked like a challenge at first. We eventually all got the hang of it. High Ropes was an obstacle course 5 metres up in the air. It wasn’t for everyone, though the girls still gave it a try. The Giant Swing was an amazing experience. Everyone gave it a try at their desired height of either green (lowest), blue (next highest), yellow (next highest) and red (the highest of all). The view was amazing and worth the trip. The beach and bush walk was the most tiring of all but the feeling of accomplishment felt amazing. Lastly, Survivor was a group effort of two teams battling it out on various challenges. At the end of the trip everyone had made new friends, had a wonderful experience and everyone had a big smile on their faces.
