On Monday 27th March- Wednesday 29th March, the year 7/8 students went to Living Springs.

Camp began with some learning around the history of Lyttelton and the coast line. We hiked up quite a large hill to get to our location. 

We spent three days participating in many activities including a swimming code challenge, archery tag, mini golf, monorail, dodgeball, orienteering, bouldering wall, burma trail blindfold activity and an escape box. We also had a very competitive quiz night and movie. 

Lastly, we finished off with a game of animal survival. The camp was full of teamwork, support for one another, GRIT and perseverance. Camp was a wonderful opportunity to get to know one another better as we build our team culture. The teachers were proud of the way the students were able to manage themselves, look after their own equipment and showed the school values.

A huge thank you to the eight parents who came and supported the students and served the delicious kai! 

Some student voice:

Unfortunately, we were gifted with a frustrating amount of rain and hail on the second and third day. Jade

Excitedly, we made it to camp and we could try out some cool activities. Sienna

The bunkrooms- warm, cozy and calming- were the perfect place to sleep. Indie

Gasping for air, I sprinted up the last bit of the hill. Luke

Sadly, it was the third day so we had to pack up and leave. Alyssa 

My eyes- sore, red and bloodshot- struggled to stay awake. Amelia

Camp was tiring, fun and rainy. Scarlett

Animal Survival, this was a game where we were split into four different groups based on their food chain. There were dogs, large herbivores, small herbivores and small carnivores. Oliver

Walking through the Burma Trail, I enjoyed trying to figure out my way around the trees and down the edges of the clift, whilst holding onto the rope and being blindfolded. Bella-Rose

Ka pai everyone!
