Surfs Up in 6GB
Spring Term kicked off with an excited buzz for 6GB who were the first class to embark on their surfing camp to Lancelin. For three days and two nights the boys were able to escape the confines of desks and chairs and replace the tapping of computer keyboards with the glorious sounds of the wind and the sea. After a quick brush up on the surfing rules and some important techniques, the boys finally hit the waves. The vibe was certainly one of comradeship and fun as everyone supported each other in their attempts to emulate Aussie champions like Mick Fanning and Taj Burrows.
While we clearly have a way to go, the confidence and enthusiasm was a sight to behold and second to none. Constructing tents, washing dishes and looking out for themselves may have been a steep learning curve for some, but the amazing Outdoor Education staff were always on standby to provide any important lessons for those not versed in domestic duties! Other activities such as orienteering, fishing, making milo on a trangia and beachcombing kept the boys engaged and maintained the positive atmosphere of the entire camp. Deeper friendships and connections, new skills and experiences, fresh air and sunshine were the culmination of a fabulous camp and a whole host of happy new memories.
