This week we ran two separate excursions with our Year 7 Classes. On Tuesday, 7B travelled to the Port Augusta Aquatics Centre and Wednesday was 7A’s turn.

Students got to have a go at windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking and sailing… with a little bit of free time swimming thrown in!  We were very fortunate to have two beautiful days weather-wise with sunshine and just enough wind for the sails.

While the disappointment about the cancelled camps is still being felt by all, we are very grateful that the full days of aquatics were able to take place. Lots of stars had to align for this to happen, so thank you to:

• Wayne Hanley for being our last-minute bus driver
• Mr Palmer and Mr Gillard for coming along
• Simon and the team at the Port Augusta Aquatics Centre for their enthusiasm and amazing instruction throughout the days.

We were so impressed with the students’ behavior, manners and enthusiasm over the two days – it’s great to hear from the Instructors what a great bunch of students we have at GHS! Well done to all of them! We can’t wait for the Year 8s to have their turn in a few weeks!
