Year 8 and 9 defence students had our Birrigai excursion on 22 March.

Students had a great time working in teams of two. Two participants worked together to climb a tower of milk crates being built by the remaining team members on the ground. Not only was this a great activity promoting teamwork and leadership but also pushed our students out of their comfort zones. The highest number of crates reached was 11!

We then moved on to our next activity, the Giant Swing! A Challenge by Choice activity where students choose the height the haul-up team raises them to and release themselves for a swing with an amazing view!

A very big thank you to Mr Michael Hanna for coming along!
