Lake Keep It Excursion Wow! What an amazing week was had by the 3MAPS group at camp Lots of exciting activities, new friendships made and goals achieved. As is the case after a major event like this, there are many thank yous to share: The students were very well behaved and we had many positive comments from the Lake Keepit staff in regards to our group. They were willing to have a go at things that were sometimes uncomfortable, such as the giant swing, and pushed themselves though any challenges they faced. They were polite, followed instructions and settled well in the evenings. Thank you for being such a great group! A big thank you to the 3MAPS staff and Lake Keepit staff for all your efforts during the week, we were also a great team who worked so well together and this resulted in a really enjoyable week for everyone involved Thank you to our parents for giving your children this opportunity to experience this excursion and sharing them with us for the week. You were missed and we were all ready to see our families by Friday after a week of adventures! Thank you also to the teachers and staff who kept things running at our schools during the week and during our collaborative student learning day on Wednesday and to Mrs Stevenson for organising the resin pouring workshop in Port Macquarie on Thursday. This was also a great day by all accounts Back to reality now… have a great week! Watch this space this week – you will soon be able to see all of the photos from the camp on the HVPS website!
