Year 7 Camp 2016

By -
Year 7 Camp in Term 1 seems like a distant memory now that we are closer to the end of the year then the start of it. But those memories will last a lifetime.

Getting ready for camp took up most of the first term for the Year 7’s! There were so many team building activities to do and costumes to organise beforehand.  At Camp MERC there were lots of different activities to try. Unfortunately the weather was bad, so we couldn’t go in the water, but we still had a fantastic time doing the giant's ladder, abseiling, rock-climbing, stack em and heaps more! The camp disco was a major highlight and everyone had an amazing time playing the chocolate game and dancing. This year we had 6 teams with unique names, which were the Hiking Hippos, Airborne Archers, Surfing Sloths, Samurai Sailors, Rebellious Rafters and the Kracka Lacker Kayakers. For the first time ever, there was a draw for the camp cup, which was taken by the Hiking Hippos and the Airborne Archers. Everyone had such a great time and we all sad to leave.

Check out some of the highlights below brought to you by Team Lazerbeam (Zak and Ollie).

Our Brand New Tiger Turf

Kia ora Glendowie, Our school is very lucky to have had such committed workers, Tigerturf, who spent 5 1/2 months working on our multi-sport turf. We, the Sport and Property Councillors, planned the big opening to show off our new facility. We even got Mr Kloppers to cut a ribbon and bought some presents for Mrs Biggs, Miss Matos, Mr Fale and the Board of Trustees to say thanks. We made a roster of who can go on the turf each day, then after two weeks we opened it to the whole school. Our school has been using the facility with a I-Care attitude and using it carefully. Keep up the good work and enjoy our new and improved play area. Thanks to the Board of Trustees, Mr Kloppers and Tigerturf.  We really appreciate your hard work. You can check out the Tiger Turf here thanks to the Media Team.

The Year 7's have been looking at exploration and discoveries in their last unit of the year "Where We Are in Place and Time".  We focus on Antarctica and have been learning a lot about what it is like down there and the explorers who ventured down there in the past. We all want to go to Antarctica - but one special Glendowie student really did get to go down there.  Check out his snaps...
