The Year 7Canberra TripThe Canberra trip was an experience we willnever forget. Not only did we have a great time,we got to know our peers a lot better and welearned that supporting and encouraging ourfriends feels a lot better than laughing and makingfun of them. Everyone was amazed at watchingeach other thinking about things more and makingmore mature decisions. Everything we did on thetrip down south, taught us many positive thingsthat we will remember, and the great memoriescollected will remain with us, in our minds forever.By Alester Fleming 7BFacing your fears can sometimes be a lot ofwork….hard work. I learned that on this year’sYear 7 Canberra trip. To conquer your fears, Ilearnt you need to take small steps, stay steadfastand be persistent. The Great Aussie Bush Campwas great. On the second day, we had all thechallenges. The most enjoyable thing was TheGiant Swing….. I volunteered to go first and itwas awesome. The most daunting thing was theaerial course, Team Challenge, (the biggest in thesouthern hemisphere). All the other kids said it wasthe best thing there. If you face your fears, you canhave the best time so give it a go, have fun andlive in the moment. For me the Canberra trip wasan incredible experience because I faced my fears.By Mitchell Nye 7MIt’s freezing at the snow and my pants are toobig! They’re falling down; she said that theywould fit!

I fall down; mybottom is freezing and I can’t pull my big skipants up because my gloves are too thick! MrsHenry says she is an embarrassment to the sportof skiing.. well she hasn’t seen me!By Jayden Benn 7PThe war museum in Canberra was great becausewe got to spend hours looking at things that wereused back in the war. The way it was set out,planes hanging from the roof, AA guns in thesandbag barriers and interactive activities reallydrew you in to learn about World War II.
