2009 Year 8 camps!

Year 8 camps! Yay!
In less than 3 weeks Stewart Island A campers will be on the road heading to Stewart Island, those poor, poor Stewart Island A campers will have to see Mr Martin in his wet suit (and maybe even Speedos!) They will be leaving on the 9th-13th of November. Then a week later on the 16th the Stewart Island B campers and the Wainui and Mt Somers campers will be leaving and there will only be 36 year 8’s left in the school for a week. With all the fundraising and donations of food that have already come in I’m pretty sure that all of the camps are going to be awesome! Be sure to check the blog for pictures of the camps.

For two weeks, we have the life education bus here at school. The year 7 program is ‘Warrant of Fitness’ and the year 8 program is ‘From the Shadows’. In Warrant of Fitness, the year sevens learn about eating healthy, keeping fit and learning about their bodies’ needs. They will sing songs, watch videos and play games in the life education bus. In From the Shadows the year eight’s will learn about drugs, and what they do to our body. They will also learn about the seven steps to adulthood.
