Year 8 Camp

Year 8s headed off to Waratah Bay Beach Camp on Wednesday 8th February for three days of activities and fun! Surfing, high swing, climbing, games, and beach walks are all highlights! 

Year 8s showed amazing teamwork on the nitro-crossing activity. Students had to get across on the rope and carry a bucket of water over in the quickest amount of time. Activity Group 2 is going to win hot chips with Miss Wrigley next week for getting their 9 team members and the bucket of water over in 35 seconds!! Amazing effort!
