Year 10's sailing camp adventure

Year 10's sailing camp adventure

"Last week, the Year 10 students embarked on sailing camp at the stunning Gippsland Lakes. We learned the basics of sailing, from essential terminology to mastering the art of tacking, all while living on our boats. Over four exhilarating days, we navigated the beautiful waters, hopping from jetty to jetty. Our adventures took us to many different places like Paynesville and Raymond Island, where we explored the local scenery and wildlife. Click here to see pictures from the camp.

A highlight of the camp was the bonding moments with my peers from a variety of friendship groups. It was so enjoyable being in the company of others. I enjoyed using teamwork in moments when we needed to put the sail up or down, and preparing meals such as pizza, stir fry, pancakes and rolls. This all came with the freedom we were given and the responsibility we took on by making the camp a little bit better for everyone else. I won’t forget the moment of looking at the calm lake during sunset with chill music and laughter filling the air, that was so special to us.

This camp was the best opportunity to see our year level become one, which is something that stood out to us.

Thank you to Russell Newman for organising this camp and letting us experience and learn the wonders of sailing. Thank you to all the teachers who made this camp so fulfilling and enjoyable." - Lev Carmeli-Wolfski and Giselle Berman, Year 10
