Blessed with perfect weather, lots of new land and water activities and great company, Year Six have returned from three days at The Sydney Academy of Sport and Rec at Narrabeen.

After a smooth and comfortable trip up with Col Pitt we had lunch, got our rooms sorted and got changed to go to the beach. It was a very hot afternoon and the water at North Narrabeen beach was cool and lots of fun. We stayed there for three hours playing and having fun. That night we had spaghetti bolognese for dinner and played stunts and games with St Peter and Pauls in the courts till 8:30pm. Lights out 9:30.

The next morning most were up early and ready to tackle the day. We had cereal, toast and spaghetti for breakfast and then went to Archery, Low Ropes and Initiatives. There were lots of stars with Archery.....we're pretty good!!

After lunch we got into our wet gear, hats and sunscreen and went kayaking up the river for three hours. We had to raft up and Bree, Ellie and Will H ran across all the kayaks without falling in!

That night after showers we had chicken and rice for dinner and played lots of tabloid activities in the hall till 8:30. Mrs Croker and Mr O'Kane said we slept like angels that night.

In fact, we slept so well we had to be woken up the next morning!!

On our last morning we had to pack everything up (including OUR sleeping bags) get dressed in wet and damp clothes and shoes because we were going sailing after breakfast. It was super tricky because we had to make sure we had another set of dry clothes in our backpack to change into after sailing.

Sailing was awesome because there was a perfect wind and Matt our Instructor said we were the best he's seen for a long time (we're pretty sure he doesn't say that to all the kids??) We had fun mastering the SUP's after that and then we were really wet.

We got changed into dry clothes and went up to have burgers for lunch. They were the best.

Col was ready after that to take us home. He even let us stop at Maccas for an ice cream on the way home. Thanks Col.

Thanks also to Mr O'Kane for coming with us this year, chauffeuring Rosa around in the buggy and venturing into the boy’s dorm. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. 

My thanks also to all my Yr. 6 students for their 'have a go' attitude, manners, and company. We are always complimented by the instructors on our exceptional students and this year was no different. It was one of the best.
