Year 8 Cricket Camp 2021
Week 8 this term saw the last of the Cricket Specialist Program Camps for the year. The Year 8 students travelled to the South West, playing cricket matches against teams from both Perth and Bunbury.
During the evenings students participated in a variety of activities, including catching up with the Specialist Tennis Students for dinner and a walk along the Busselton Jetty, Night Tennis at Busselton Tennis Club and a movie session at the Cinema. Students skills were also challenged when they faced constructing tents in the dark.
Thank you to the staff who organised and ran the camp, making it an enjoyable week for all.
