Sixtus Lodge

Our three days at Sixtus Lodge were awesome!  During this time, we really bonded as a class through doing loads of fun, challenging activities.  Highlights included:

• Competing in teams as part of Room 6 Survivor.  Challenges such as prone bridge, target throwing, strength, balance and brain power tested us all.
• Building dams in the creek.
• Catching an eel.
• Participating in lots of different competitions, including rock tower building, balloon relays, leap frog, capture the flag, rounders, an obstacle course and human towers, were heaps of fun.
• Activities such as our tallest tower tech challenge and bivouac building gave us an opportunity to work together and build relationships with our peers.
• Swimming in the ice-cold water of Cone Creek.
• Each person presented a speech and this was an awesome way to find out about the talents and hobbies of our classmates.

We did a lot of work around what it means to be a great role model.  Firstly we defined the term 'ROLE MODEL'.  Here is what Trevor and Cody came up with:

Next we worked in teams to identify the qualities of great models:

After that, we combined our ideas and created a list of nearly 40 qualities!  Then came the hard part:  narrowing the list to 26.  We discussed our ideas and opinions and debated until we finally agreed!

Now that we're back at school, one of our follow up activities is to make a display of our favourite camp photos using Comic Life.  Here are some great examples from Ffion, Victoria and Madison:
