SKI CAMP

On Monday the 4th of September, 26 Students headed off to Mt Hotham ski resort for a week of skiing / boarding.  After the long bus journey, students arrived at the Peninsula lodge and got equipped with their ski’s, boards, boots and poles. Students participated in a lesson that afternoon and every morning with qualified instructors and had free skiing/boarding in the afternoon. The weather was very tough this year, with blizzards, white outs and heaps of snow. The road was closed until Wednesday and only a few runs were open until midweek. Lucky for us the sun came out on Friday so students were able to see the mountain and take some great photos.

All students picked up the skill of skiing/ boarding by the end of the week in some very challenging conditions. With the help and patience of some excellent staff, students were making it down with no stacks and attempting blue runs by the end of the week.

In between the riding and falling the students spent time in the lodge playing pool or cards, relaxing in the spa and also had great fun during the annual trivia night on Thursday.

I would like to thank the students for their fantastic attitude throughout the week, their enthusiasm and effort was a credit to themselves and the school. I would also like to thank the Staff, Mr Taig and Mr Davies for their help and support during the week. Mr Davies for running the Ski Camp training sessions leading up to the camp, Miss Fallon for helping with all the food shopping and Judy for her lovely cooking!

Bring on the 2018 Ski Trip.
