Towards the end of of November, Year 10s got the opportunity to go to Ngaruawahia for camp.
It was a chance for us to bond with our peers as well as our teachers. We got to do activities that encouraged us to step out of our comfort zone as well as to have fun out of the classroom!
Despite having to wake up at 6:30 in the morning for our daily exercises and getting sprayed by water guns, we got to bond as a year group with various activities such as rowing as one in Waka Ama and raft building where our construction skills were put to the test.
We also did activities that encouraged us to face our fears such as rock climbing (on actual rocks!) and soaring through the air on the extreme flying fox.
We were also able to share our uniquely individual talents during our skit night. From well-choreographed dances to hilarious impromptus, we had the time of our lives!
All good things must come to an end, and we were all very sad to have to leave camp. It was our last camp as a year group, and we took the time to bond with our peers as well as our teachers.
From this, we learnt that we need to live life to the fullest and that we need to step out of our comfort zone once in a while!
