Year 9 & Year 11 Excursion

Mt Sewlyn & Falls Creek  Excursions

Three lucky Year 9 PASS classes journeyed to Mt Selwyn last week for their skiing/snowboarding excursion. The Year 11 PDHPE and SLR classes travelled to Falls Creek the previous week. These students had a valuable experience participating in structured coaching sessions in which they learnt new skills with many students, if not all, progressing from the beginner/cognitive stage to the intermediate/associative stage of development. Although the snow conditions at Mt Selwyn could have been better, the weather was fantastic and our students gained much from the experience.

Apart from learning and developing new skills, the students were required to prepare properly for the trip, organise the appropriate gear, complete all required documentation and arrive on time. They all managed to complete these tasks, which helped the days run smoothly from 4.00am to 4.30am until we returned at 7.30pm to 9.00pm. I would like to thank the students for their fantastic behaviour, manners and participation on the day. A big thank you to Mr McNamara, Mr Price, Mr McPherson, Miss Cowled, Mr Morton and Mrs Kenny for your willingness to provide this invaluable experience for these classes.   A great day was had by all.
