Hello everyone in Nhill! Print

Hello everyone! We are having a great time here at the Snowy River Campus. So far we have been Bridge Building, where we had to build a bridge and put it into the water so we could reach a canoe, that had been placed a couple of metres out, without getting wet. We have done Expo Skills, which was getting familiar with what we would have to do when we go on Expeditions, our first expedition is on Tuesday and we camp out in the bush for a night. We have also been surfing, which we all enjoyed a lot! Last week we had Intro to Bikes, which was just going over all the safety rules and getting used the bikes, and we had Intro to Canoes, which was fun even though the weather was a bit miserable. Other classes we have had are Thinking and Learning, Peer Skills, Beliefs and Values and we have had a couple of guest speakers. The next couple of weeks we have two more lots of surfing, a half day bike ride, a photography class and a day of caving.

Hello NHill

We have been working really hard on our Community Learning Project, which is promoting Nhill by making a brochure to go in the Information Centre and a video to show in places like the Nhill IGA. Hopefully in the next couple of days we will be able to get in touch with our Home Team and Mrs Toet to talk about our CLP.

We are teamed up with students from Carrum Downs and we are all having a great time. We have all mixed in with everyone really well. Some people go as far as saying that ‘the Nhill kids are the nicest people here.’ The time here is going by so fast, it only feels like we have been here a couple of days but really we are into our fourth week. Soon enough we will be back at school with everyone.

We would like to say a big hello to everyone and we are missing you all.

Kelsey, Lucy, Adam, Ryan and Alex.
