On Friday 28 March, our Defence students swapped the classroom for the treetops, taking on an action-packed day at Treetops Adventure! With wobbly bridges, high-flying ziplines, and tricky obstacles to conquer, there was no shortage of excitement (and a few shaky knees). From the get-go, students were up for the challenge, pushing themselves to climb higher, go further, and test their limits—all while having an absolute blast.

One of the best parts of the day was seeing the students support each other through the tough spots. Whether it was shouting words of encouragement, lending a steadying hand, or celebrating each other’s wins, the teamwork was next-level. Some faced their fear of heights, while others tackled the most challenging courses like pros. The mix of determination, resilience, and plenty of laughs made for an unforgettable experience.

By the time the last zipline was conquered, there were big smiles all around (and maybe a few tired arms!). Whether students completed every course or just gave it their best shot, everyone left feeling proud of what they had achieved. It was an epic day of adventure, teamwork, and fun—bring on the next challenge!
