Angahook camp by our students.
Sofia.D: ‘Honk honk’ 12th of February the day of camp!!!!!! I couldn’t believe the day has come, I was ecstatic! We hopped on the bus as fast as a cheetah, just waiting for the excitement!! An hour later after so much talking we arrived at an awesome skatepark!
Oliver W: When we got there we got a zooper dooper. We were so happy when the instructor told us their names were Luke, Richie and Telisha. I got everything ready so we had about 5 minutes of free time.
Angelina P: The next morning we had breakfast, for breakfast we had cereal and toast. Then we went down to the surf museum. It was so much fun!! Guess what we did after that another walk. But we got to do a bike ride so it was worth it in the end. Then we caught the bus back to camp. And lucky me got to do archery. And then we had dinner. For dinner we had chicken schnitzel and for dessert chocolate mousse. Then we went to bed.

We had many successful students who won ribbons and some even advanced to the next level - Beachside.
The day consisted of six events (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle relay and medley relay). Throughout the day we had lots of students who won ribbons in one or more events.

We were very fortunate to have some students advance to Beachside which will take place on Friday 7th March. Congratulations to Maxwell G, Isobel S, Kaia K and Jobe S for progressing to Beachside. Galilee did an amazing job at Dendy and it wouldn’t have been possible without the commitment of each student and the help of Mr. Greene. Thank you also to Miss Evans and Sonia (parent) for coming to help and support us.
