Highlight of the year!

My Favorite Highlight of the year was Camp, It was a really fun experience for me. At camp, I grew closer with my classmates, I also learned that you don't need a badge to be a leader. I really enjoyed camp and wish we could of stayed there for more than 3 days.

Leavers Mass !

Monday 12 December

Leavers Mass

All the year 8’s was ready for their Leavers Mass. We were all sited inside church. Later on the leadership candle was brought down to Ana-Lei and Lucia. The year 8’s were soon prized with their bible, candle and layer. The Mass was beautiful.

Memorable time this year/Narrative !

Later on, after our long bus ride to Piha. A skillful, kind lady introduced Camp Piha and explained the rules. She said if there was a fire we must all evacuate immediately.

We then walked to the beach, the sand was boiling hot. It soon became cold.  Once we walked back to the campsite I felt so worn out. I went straight to the girls cabin, I unpack some of my stuff and layed in bed when I heard a loud siren.

We all run down the stairs, I tripped and scraped my leg. So now I was running with my leg bleeding and I was so tired. We all arrived to the safe place.
