About Camp:

In term 3 the year 9 cohort went to Kalbarri which is about 6 hours away from Perth for a week as part of the outdoor learning program. We camped out in many different locations like inside of a gorge as well as spending a couple of nights at the caravan park. During this week we completed lots of tasks and many fun activities. Throughout these activities we collaborated in small groups and sometimes we worked as a big group. When collaborating with others we had to work as a team to usually complete a task.

Teamwork:

An example of this is when we had to form two small groups and hold a tarp up and we were tasked to throw an egg from tarp to tarp. We had to move the tarp around and hold it at the right angle. We then had to time the movements perfectly to ensure that we gave the egg a soft landing without cracking it. I helped give recommendations of what movements we should have done so that we didn’t damage the egg. Everyone gave recommendations and we all listened to them so that we were including everyone and to ensure that we were hearing all ideas. We all had to have good teamwork and good communication to ensure that we all knew what we were doing. This camp had many moments where I had to use teamwork or display leadership.
