In week 5, Year 9 Students travelled to Camp Somerset, along the Colo River and took part in a three day, two night camp. The experience was filled with both challenging and fun activities such as canoeing, bushwalking, archery, abseiling, rock climbing, obstacle courses, river run and sleeping in tents. Each activity encouraged students to step outside of their comfort zone, and that our Year 9 group did with enthusiasm and bravery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students also navigated their way along the Colo River from activity to activity and cooked and prepared all meals. Highlights were the \u201c<\/span>My Campsite Rules\u201d <\/span><\/i>challenge where students selected a cuisine and key ingredients to cook dinner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Year 9 Courage Cup <\/span><\/i>was up for grabs. House points were awarded to students when they demonstrated Courage and aspects of our Marist Compass for Life. The challenge to take home the cup was welcomed by all of Year 9 with joy and excitement. The winners of this year’s <\/span>Year 9 Courage Cup <\/span><\/i>will be announced during Empower in Week 8.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are proud of our Marist students who courageously challenged themselves, learnt new skills and built new meaningful relationships with others during this experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
