My Time At Snowy

We have been here for 2 weeks and 1 day today. I am already having a time of my life and don’t want to go home. I have made so many new friends; one is already like my sister. Ahliya and I have become really close and to me that is really important when in a small community like this.

Last week my group and I completed our first expo. It was really hard carrying our packs and walking in the sand on a hot day all at the same time, but we got over it. When we arrived at Dock Inlet where we stayed the night we all got in our bathers and had a swim which was a lot of fun.

Every Saturday we have a rest day where we can do anything we want, so for the last two I have been going to East Cape Conran swimming with a group of friends which has been a lot of fun.

As all of the teachers here are really helpful and are making us become better leaders we set a lot of goals and do a lot of reviews, which are okay but when you aren’t in the mood it sucks.

On Saturday just gone 1A ran the student led activity so we decided to have a speed dating game, so we got everyone to dress crazy or in costumes and that night turned out to be really good and everyone enjoyed it. Then last night (Sunday night) we had a bush dance , everybody got in there flannelette shirts and got there dancing shoes on and danced around changing partners every time, I know that we all had a brilliant time.

During our time here we are required with our school to create a Community Learning Project to put into action while we are here, the group of girls from my school and I have come up with, going to the Geelong Hospital and working with all of the kids in the children’s ward and giving them a good day and having quite a few fund raisers to raise some money to get everything we need.
