Last week saw the 2nd group of Year 8 boys head to Colo. Here is a review by Thomas Callaughan

For the last four days I have been at Colo. I Really enjoyed it especially the mountain bike riding and orienteering. This year we rode to the camp site on our bikes, this was better than walking like last year. We did a lot of fun things like rock climbing, high ropes, low ropes, orienteering, group problem solving and mountain bike riding. On the last night we stayed at a campsite. At the campsite we had to cook on fires and sleep in tents. We were split into 2 groups of 4. In our groups we had to collect fire wood, collect water from the river, dig a fire pit, set up tents and cook our food on the fire. This was great fun! My favourite part of the week was the ride to our campsite.

Here is a video of the boys of English 8.3 having a great time at Colo!

Monday saw Year 8 boys participate in the 2011 College athletics carnival. All boys were required to compete in at least 2 events, representing their house colours. I would like to congratulate the boys of year 8 for their effort and application.

Please find below a collection of photographs from the day.

The first Year 8 camp for 2011 started on a high note. The boys approached the adventure activities with determination and enthusiasm. Staff were particularly impressed with the level of cooperation amongst the boys, their good manners and willingness to help out. Here is a video of the boys having a great time at Colo!
