Year 8’s Attend Aquatics Camps
As part of our transition program, the Year 8’s attended one of three overnight camps this week – over 130 students participated in aquatics at Coffin Bay.
Students enjoyed windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling, sailing, paddle-boarding and small boat handling during the day. In the evenings, we enjoyed the amazing schnitzel night at the “Pub in the Scrub” and some red rover on the lawns outside.
The camps were a really positive experience for all of our new Year 8’s – they were able to meet some new people and spend quality time with their classmates outside of the classroom.
I would really like to thank the PLHS staff who attended and supervised each of the camps, Yvonne and staff at Coffin Bay Aquatics, David and staff at the Coffin Bay Hotel, the Coffin Bay Caravan Park and EP Bus Charters.
~ Mrs Amy O’Brien (Middle School Assistant Principal)
