From the Middle School
Greetings from Vision Valley where I am placed this week alongside our wonderful Year 7 Ingleholme, Goodlet, Bennett and Hammond girls. We have been blessed with beautiful weather so far, allowing everyone to enjoy the array of outdoor activities to the max. Whether it’s archery, crate stacking, the Leap of Faith, mountain biking, orienteering, rock climbing, abseiling or free time on the waterslide; your daughters have given it their all. We are so impressed by their “can do attitude” and the genuine sense of fun they bring to each experience. Every night one House group takes a turn at camping down by the Hawkesbury at Crosslands, hiking in and then canoeing out the next day just to add an extra challenge. The girls are really enjoying staying in the lodges with their friends on the other three nights and partaking in the evening games as a cohort.
Thank you so much to our Compass teachers, Mr Heggie and Mrs Budd for their enthusiasm and willingness to invest so much time and energy to ensure the success of this important Outdoor Education opportunity.
