Year 11

Year 11 Camp

Last week, Year 11 students attended their final school camp in Jindabyne, where they built resilience, teamwork and leadership skills. The week fostered new friendships and strengthened existing ones, leaving students with a greater sense of community and preparation for their final year.

Camp Reflection

This year, I was part of one of the two cross-country ski groups for camp. While the limited amount of snow unfortunately meant that we didn’t get to participate in cross-country skiing, we made the most of the experience and had a fantastic time.

Throughout the week, there were countless moments of laughter, and we created many unforgettable memories. Some highlights included singing dozens of songs as we hiked, playing Werewolf under the tarp while it hailed and rained and finding snow at the top of South Rams Head, which led to a massive snowball fight in which everyone participated. These are just a few of the countless moments that made Year 11 camp truly unforgettable.

However, what would camp be without a challenge? The greatest challenge this year was hiking to the peak of South Rams Head. The climb required us to gain almost 1,000 meters in elevation in a single day. Many of us struggled with the steep ascent, but with plenty of breaks, encouragement and the determination to reach the top, we pushed through and were rewarded by the snow.

Our fondest memory happened on the fourth day of camp. After a long hike along the Thredbo River, we reached our pick-up area but still had two hours until the bus arrived. We set our packs down near the river and decided to go for a dip. While I only waded my feet, others fully submerged in the water, enjoying a well earned break from the long hikes we had endured in the days prior.

And although every single one of our not so “Cross-Country Ski” group was exhausted by the end of the week, there was one thing that we could all agree on: Our Year 11 camp was filled with fun memories and was one that we will certainly never forget.

After spending time at camp, pushing their limits, exploring the outdoors, and testing themselves, Year 11 demonstrated resilience, teamwork, and determination. Camp offered them a glimpse of what lay ahead in Year 12 – a year that would be filled with growth, challenges and the opportunity to build on everything they had learned so far.

As they reflected on their final year of school, they recognised that it would be a time to shape the legacy they leave behind. It would be a year to celebrate friendships, strive for both personal and academic success and embrace every moment. Just like on camp, the year ahead would present obstacles, but each challenge would become an opportunity for growth, learning and emerging stronger.

 And of course, we can’t forget the new Year 12 Jerseys!
