On Wednesday, 10 March, 100 eager Year 7 students and nine extremely generous staff headed off on their camp to Toukley.  There were many friends made and many challenges faced… for me this was an amazing experience exemplified by the support the students provided for each other when they could see one of their peers was struggling to jump in the leap of faith… to go to the top on the giant swing… or climb the ladder and tackle the high ropes.  This is what makes a fantastic year group… what sets them aside from others… their ability to look after each other.  It was very moving and I am truly honoured to be responsible for caring for such a wonderful group of young men and women.

Thank you so much to Lyndall Laurie, Bernadette Boere, Penny Wood, Matt Collier, Tim Masters, Wayne McDougall, Jeremy Hobbes and Simon Basile for taking time away from their families to be with us.
