On Friday 19th February, the Year 4s went to their much-anticipated Outdoor Learning Experience at Point Walter. There was a sense of excitement and disbelieff, as the boys believed the opportunity was one of the many events devoured by COVID-19.

The day involved three activities: swimming pool, orienteering and a flying fox. At the pool, boys had to build a raft out of logs (pool noodles) and rope and make it through the burning grass, across to safety on the other side. They also had to dive to collect treasure lost at sea. Orienteering involved working in teams to locate various points around the camp. The boys learnt how to keep their maps pointing north by always having the top of the map facing the city skyline. The flying fox was a hit with many of the boys; some were even brave enough to hang upside down!

Throughout the day, the boys used teamwork to develop stronger bonds with their peers. Though weary by the end of a hot day, the Year 4s still had smiles on their faces the whole bus ride back to school.
