The boys had only begun their school journey eight days prior to departure, making their eagerness and readiness to participate commendable.
Over the course of three days, the boys encountered a range of weather conditions while engaging in various activities. During tent setup, the heat was intense, raising a few concerns and requiring a few adjustments. Nonetheless, all students persevered, diligently applying sunscreen and preparing for a packed afternoon of activities.
The activities encompassed Abseiling, Flying Fox, Leap of Faith, Burma Bridge, Raft Building, Stand-Up Paddle Boarding, Slingshot, Canoeing, and Orienteering. Witnessing each student overcome personal challenges with determination was truly inspiring.
The primary goal of this camp was to foster connections and a sense of belonging within their new year group. I encouraged all students to forge new friendships during the three days, hoping they embraced this opportunity. Bringing together 193 students from diverse educational backgrounds marked a heartening start to their high school journey.
