A WORD FROM OUR SCHOOL LEADERS
I enjoyed camp! Camp was really fun. I loved the activities, especially the mud run, it was personally my favourite. I was thrilled to spend time with my friends! The food was amazing and I loved dinner the most! Night games were also so much fun, but when it came to bed time I started to feel home sick. I tried to stay calm but my tears came out. My lovely teacher calmed me down and then I went to bed. The next day breakfast was so good, it was pancakes! The activities that day were really fun! My favourite was rock climbing. Then the night came and I started to feel a bit homesick again, but I thought that I had pushed through the night before so could do it again. I woke up and felt so excited to go home but also sad to leave. There were only a few hours left, when we got home I was so happy but a tiny bit sad that I had to leave. So that was my camp experience. I am so proud of myself for pushing through my homesickness both nights. I’ve learned to calm myself down when I feel worried and this will help me as a leader in Year 6.

Year Six camp was full of surprises, good ones to be exact. By doing activities with different students in Year 6, I learned that sometimes stepping out of my comfort zone is a good thing and not bad. Camp has helped me to find out that I work well with other people and by being a teammate I can definitely get things done faster with a big smile on my face. My favourite activities were definitely the mud run and rock climbing (I was quite good at them, just saying). Now, don’t even get me started on the food, it was amazing, I tried foods that I would have never had tried without having them at camp, and yes, they did in fact taste delicious . The staff members were so friendly and inclusive, they were truly amazing people. Hanging out with my best friends made camp even better, although I didn’t get much sleep (whoops). Overall camp was such a fun experience, with thrilling activities and awesome people, it was spectacular. I’m glad I attended Year Six camp. I’ve made funny and wonderful memories, life-time friends and strong connections with my teachers. After camp I realised that I am ready for the year ahead and can’t wait to see what other leadership opportunities we have. Year Six is going to be amazing.

Year 6 camp gave me so many more memories, each and every activity provided me with a whole new experience. I gave everything a go and I have no regrets. Camp also unlocked a new section of my brain - Teamwork 2.0. This includes helping, caring and not slipping over in the mud run! When night came around, the teachers said “sleep” but is that even a word? At camp it definitely doesn’t exist. Other than that, everything was great. All my teachers, peers and educators gave me an even better experience at Borambola.
