Our camp was really great. There were 84 students and 13 adults which meant meal time was busy and noisy but what meals!
Driving down in the bus was great until we had to do the Te Wairoa Walk. As it was drizzling, it meant we had to wear coats which some of us didn’t have and as a result we got wet.We saw the stream where they get water from for the pump bottles. It was very blue and cold.
On arrival at camp we quickly found our dorms then moved outside to have lunch. The first activity was the team challenge which provided challenges for everyone. It set the tone for camp which was full of personal and team challenges each day. In our activity groups we did Go Karting, BMXing, Flying Fox,Climbing Tower and Rock Wall, Lake Walk and dingy rowing,Kayaking,Air Rifles and Archery, Treasure Hunt and Confidence course. Each activity provided some excitement from crashing the go kart to seeing Mrs Webster ride a bike.
The best was last, The Burma Trail in the dark. Such screams and laughter could be heard all around the camp.
The final day gave us the Water Top Town Competition, great one Mr Arnold for being the “face” to throw the sponges at.
Reaching school at 2.30 meant we could go home and catch up on sleep after a really cool camp.
Thank you all the parents who came to make the camp the Best.

Our year began with a newly painted classroom which makes it feel bigger and brighter. With our 30 classmembers we are enjoying the air conditioning which was also installed during the holidays. Thank you BOT for everything.

Our syndicate welcomed Mr Arnold into Room 4. Lets hope he will do the Burma Trail with us.We also have Mrs Dunton working each morning teaching and encouraging children from each class. This helps reduce the numbers for important subjects.

The year will be busy starting in a week of us off to camp at Lake Whakamaru Christian Camp.
