Well, it was an AWESOME ski week and the students were incredible. The students' alarms went off at 5.30 am and we were all eating breakfast by 6am. Our aim was to leave the house before 7am and get to the top car park at Cardrona every morning - which we did. In fact, on the Thursday 30th July we were the first 3 cars up there!
So we saw a few sunrises together.
The students showed great stamina on all days with early starts and two 2 hour lessons - skiing till 4pm. Everyone including beginners got up the chair lift on the first day and by day 3 we took the whole group to an intermediate run called "Captains"- where we played follow the leader down the mountain. Something to be very proud of. Some of our skiers were speedsters with Richard and others were making great progress with Kamari, Steven and Sonia.
All the adults were impressed with our students behaviour. They were responsible, really listened to their instructors, alert to what was happening around them and considerate of others in their group. What more can we say but A BIG THANK YOU to all the kids and our WONDERFUL PARENTS who worked really hard on camp.
Also a BIG THANK YOU to all the parents who helped with fundraising, baking and main meals - those famous lasagnes and chocolate mud cake! Well done to you all and thank you for all your support in getting this camp off the ground.
Cheers Sonia Pettigrew

Thank you Miss Pettigrew for organising our ski trip. The students obviously had a great time and learnt many new skills. Also a big thank you to our wonderful supportive parent helpers.
