SERVING the Yorke Peninsula for over 20 years
11
In Week 3 of Term 2, some of our Year 11 and 12 Outdoor
Education students embarked on an adventurous camp,
kayaking along the Murray River from Swan Reach to
Nildottie.
The students learned skills such as how to pack their
kayaks efficiently, and overcame the challenge of
managing three days without showering!
A highlight of the trip was exploring a cave near Swan
Reach, with the journey inside requiring the students to
walk and crawl appoximately 900 meters to the end.
Throughout the camp the students remained united
and enthusiastic, making it a memorable and rewarding
experience for all.

Breadtags for Wheelchairs
The Secondary Week 3 Assembly was focused on the charity
organisation ‘Breadtags for Wheelchairs’. Students watched
an informative video, created by Year 10 Prefect Kester Jacobs
regarding his desire that we raise money for this worthy cause.
After playing a human version of ‘Hungry Hippos’ and
considering mobility aids required by some, the students
reflected on how lucky we are in Australia to be able to
purchase wheelchairs and crutches with relative ease.
We ask the College community to please bring any plastic tags
to the collection points (located in the front office and home
classes). These can be from your bread and other bakery
goods, but also items such as carrots and potatoes!
