Hi everyone,

These past couple weeks have been packed with fun and exciting activities.
The grade 3/4 class had their camp, which I've heard was extremely fun and a bit tiring. The teachers even said that the activities were more fun than what the 5/6s experienced, which would have been hard to beat.

The students also had school swimming which everyone found helpful and fun! Mine and most other peoples favourite bit was the jumping activities. The swimming was also a lot of exercise so everyone became quite fit and healthy over last week.

The senior students also went to the beach where there were many activities. We learnt things like CPR and how to rescue someone who is drowning with everyday items. There were 5 activities, 3 water and 2 dry land, the water ones were with life jackets, boogie boards, and saving ‘drowning’ people. The dry land activities were learning DRSABCD which is Danger, response, send for help, airway, breathing, CPR and defibrillation. The second dry land activity was learning the dangers on the beach and how to get out of rips.

As we are coming to the end of the year, the grade 6’s have been preparing for high school with our first orientation day on the 7th December, and graduation on the 16th. It has been a tough year for learning with all the lock downs and screens, but I think that we are all ready to move onto the next phase of our lives. Whilst this is happening the rest of the school is also getting ready for next year. The grade 5’s are also about to start their school captain speeches for selection to be the next leaders of the school!
