Today we had a class called Waterwatch. Throughout the day we learnt various different things about keeping our waterways clean, and what types of Flora and Fauna live around our rivers. In the morning, we all went to a park, where we had a question sheet, and had to go around to different information posts and find the necessary information.
In the afternoon, we all went down to a riverbank, about 5 mins drive away from the park and tried to collect macroinvertibrates that we scooped up from the riverbed. There were many different types, such as the river scorpion, the mite and the mayfly nymph. We also tested the water’s phosphorous levels, salinity levels and turgidity levels. It was a lot of fun, was very educational, and I learnt lots about the Snowy River, and all the things around it.

Yesterday and today core 1 (1A & 1B) and core 2 (2A&2B) went surfing and learnt how to take photos with professional photographer David Tatnall. We did these activities in our different gender groups which made it very enjoyable because we got to spend all day with our genders. First we did photography near East Cape. We learnt how to use the SLR film cameras which may seem complicated but were actually very easy and fun to use. We took pictures of rocks, birds and beaches as well as crabs, starfish and anemone. After lunch we swapped activities and went surfing. Surfing was amazing at East Cape. The boys played camouflage and had a great time surfing. Overall it was a great day and we had lots of fun.

On the night of March 5th 2015 core 2 settled in for a magical night where they all divided into school groups and put on an amazing act for everyone based upon their CLPs.
There were many amazing acts including one about stereotypic firemen, one about a witch attacking people that litter in a creek, one about a few people that were ‘different’ in some way, and one about a magical fairy saving a girl from being bullied. They were all hilarious! There were many jokes, wacky features, great acting and one person even sang a song! This was definitely one of the most entertaining nights we’ve had at the Snowy River Campus, and there will be plenty more to come. Thanks for reading!

On the 2nd of March Core 2 set out for an adventure. They donned jumpsuits and jumped into the mini buses. After a car trip filled with music and sing-a-longs, they had reached their destination. Buchan caves. There were two caves ready to be explored. The first cave was the Royal Cave, filled with plenty of fascinating stalagmites and stalactites. After a BBQ they then set out to Wilson’sCave. The wild cave presented Core 2 with plenty of tight squeezes and scary spaces, but the cave was overcame. They emerged from the cave dirty and tired, but wanting to go again. Overall a great day!

Last Sunday we had TOAST workshops (Teach others a skill or talent). Heaps of people signed up to teach something that they love doing. Some of the skills were drawing, origami, whip cracking, Ballet, magic, drama, chilled dancing, shuffling, and ranger rolling clothes, wood chopping and music. Lots of people enjoyed and partook in these classes. After dinner that night the teachers decided that because everyone had such a good time they were going to use the most successful classes and made them the evening class for the night. Those classes were Drawing, Shuffling/Chilled Dancing, Drama and Ballet. By the end of the night I think that everyone had learned a new skill that day and looked as if they all enjoyed themselves in doing so. The toast workshops are most definitely one of the most successful activities students have organised here at SRC so far.
