Epic 2011 Ski Tour
After a long coach trip to Thredbo, 43 Year 11 students and
4 teachers hit the slopes of Thredbo in the July school holidays.
The students’ excitement and enthusiasm could not be denied
as they participated in their first ski or snowboard lesson of the
week. Before long, the teachers were able to ski and snowboard
with most students, bumping into them wherever we went on
the mountain. Deep powder snow blanketed the slopes giving
students their first experience skiing and riding powder, requiring
them to adjust technique to cope with such awesome conditions.
It was great to see the students venturing out and attempting to
ski and board new slopes.
Our students once again lived up to our great reputation that
has been established amongst the Thredbo village. I have never
encountered such an enthusiastic, polite and organised tour group.

degree. Finally, they were provided with a tour of the Mirvac
