This Term the Year 5's attended Allambee Camp. The students engaged in a variety of activities ranging from; archery, bush walking, giant swing, initiative course, the vertical challenge and flying fox.
These activities required all students to build confidence, display teamwork, conquer their fears as well as show persistence and resilience.
The camp program is an integral part of our school curriculum and experience. The students all were enthusiastic and ‘stepped out of their comfort zones.’ They were able to experience new and exciting things, face different challenges and gain independence.

On the Monday it was my first time at camp. We went to the bus and we went on a one hour and 45-minute drive and when we arrived we had a tour then we had lunch. After that we had two activities including the giant swing (which was so scary) and the initiative course which is all about working together as a team. We had a 3 kilometer walk that night, then we prayed and went to bed.
On the second day we had 7 meals! We did archery, flying fox, vertical challenge and the low ropes. On the third day we prayed then had breakfast. The last activity was the race around the World. Then we had lunch with the girls and left.
I had the best time at camp!

Last Wednesday, the day we were going to camp, I was so nervous and excited all at once. When we finally arrived, we did so many activities.
The next day (Thursday) in the morning, we had breakfast and did more activities. I had so much fun, and to think I was not going to go on camp?!!
I was so scared of the swing! We had lunch and that evening we watched a movie.
The next day (Friday) we had breakfast, did activities and then had lunch and did one more activity which was the beads of achievement, I was so proud of myself!!
We jumped on the bus headed home, it took two hours to come back to school. Then I saw my Mum and brother and sister, got my bag and went home.
