Year 5 Camp - Challenges & Fun at Woodend
Jan Hall — November 22, 2016
Last week, the Year 5 students set off for an overnight camp at the Woodend Christian Camp. As this was the first camp off-site for them, there was much excitement and anticipation - especially around the variety of activities that would challenge everyone. The two days were sunny and warm, the planned activities loads of fun, the food was scrumptious and the student’s behaviour was excellent. The Woodend Christian Camp offers a number of activities for students including orienteering, the climbing wall, team building, go-karting and archery and rifle shooting. All students tried these challenging activities and were thrilled with their own personal successes! Our Oaklands CARE Values were certainly evident with the children cheering others on, persevering, and giving things a go. We had a wonderful two days and a very quiet bus ride home!
