Year 7 Community Day

 

At Borambola

200 Year 7 students excitedly boarded four buses to Borambola for their first Community Day at KCC. Thirteen staff shared their day as students focused on teamwork and activities to enhance their role as a member of our community.

Borambola staff led the action in pool and kayaking activities, as well as ones requiring initiative and problem-solving. Strategy and team building, using a ball game scenario, was led by Jodi Siegwalt, while Matthew Conn focused on initiation into Year 7 and problem solving. Year 7 questions about their transition into high school will be used to help the integration of future students.

Students rose to each of the day’s challenges, offering ideas and working as individuals, pairs and then in small and larger groups. They enjoyed the food and surrounds of Borambola and interacting beyond their immediate friendship group. We are optimistic that the impact of the Community Day will resonate through the year and beyond.
