Class 6 have recently returned from an outdoor education camp at Redlands Bay near Brisbane where they spent a lot of time in harnesses, helmets and life jackets! The students enjoyed rock-climbing, abseiling, archery, canoeing, bushcraft and a variety of team-building challenges, followed by a day-trip to Brisbane which included the SparkLab Sciencentre and the Planetarium.
It was wonderful to watch the students throw themselves into the physical challenges with such enthusiasm and confidence in their bodies, push their boundaries and negotiate the difficulties of working together as a team, especially when faced with the task of making a raft with four barrels, six poles, a few lengths of rope (and no instructions) in 25 minutes!
