Waverley Park School - Year 6 Survivor Camp - 2010
Despite the soggiest of starts, the year six students clambered onto the bus and headed off to camp. Two very full-on days (only one thirty minute of break of ‘free’ time in the two days); so they’ll all sleep well tonight. Our sincere thanks to the parents and staff who committed themselves to ensuring the kids had an enjoyable and safe time.
Our year six troops celebrated the end of their camp experience with last night’s “CAMP LA BAFTA” night. (Local Artist’s Black-As Fancy Timber-Awards). Dressed to the nines for the gala occasion, the kids - and their equally well-dressed parents - entered via the red carpet; watched the camp DVD; watched the awards ceremony; all at candle lit tables. Later, there were refreshments and dancing to music from “Midnight Cruise”.
Congratulations to the big award winners on the night: Imogen Peterson (Never-Say-Die Iron Woman); Kingston Otene (Affirmative Team Player); Kate Laurie (Fear Factor Survivor); Harrison Lindsay (Positivity Gets You Everywhere); and Storm McLean (Never Quit Warrior).
The evening was a huge success – one the kids are sure to remember and this success was due in no small measure to the contributions of many: Helen Kennedy, Sharon Witheford, Janelle Shaw and Raiha Johnson; James and Tania Clive; Lisa Tou; Michelle and Grant Barraclough; Bruce Berg and Alan Dawkes on the executive team at the Ascot Park Hotel; Stefan Fabre manager at Windsor Wines; my band-mates and good friends Les Findlater, Sharon Officer, Greg Findlater and Shane Mitchell; and last but not least; the year six kids and the adults responsible for the way everyone looked and participated last night. Their behaviour and obvious enjoyment was a credit to their families. Judging from some of the faces around here today, as they had at camp – the kids gave it everything they had last night.
