RAID

Year 9 Program

This week in RAID, year 9 classes A-D went into Gisborne for a packed day of fun activities.

Lawn bowls was difficult to get used to, but once we did, it was great! We are very grateful to the volunteers who gave up their day to share their love of the sport. I was lucky enough to witness the bowl of the century, done by Mr Ralston. Anyone interested in getting more involved in lawn bowls are encouraged to contact the Gisborne & District Bowling Club at https://www.gisbornebowlsclub.com/

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) at BodyBlitz 24/7 was very hard work, but rewarding. Our legs are sore today from a very tiring spin class as well. Anyone keen to get stronger or more fit can visit the website for more information: https://bodyblitz247.com.au/

Self-defence at Gisborne MMA was equal parts interesting and helpful. Knowing how to get out of difficult situations will be useful, but let's hope none of us have to use our new knowledge. Anyone interested in pursuing martial arts and self-defence should visit their website: https://www.gisbornemma.com/

At the end of the day, students were visited by Wade Andrews of Victoria Police to talk about safety in the city in preparation for next RAID day (23rd March).

The planned activities include ice skating at O’Brien Icehouse and mini golf at GlowGolf (proudly owned and operated by GSC alumni) both in the Docklands precinct. Students will need to make their own way to Southern Cross station for a roll call at 9:50am. Ms. Moore will be catching the 8:50am train from Gisborne Station if anyone needs help.

Classes will be dismissed from Southern Cross station after a final roll call at 1:50pm.

Please ensure that you have arranged payment and permission for RAID (or at least contacted the school if payment might be delayed) by Friday the 18th of March, otherwise we won’t be able to bring your child with us.
