Year 8's at OPC

24/11/2014

 
Hillary OUTDOORS  (OPC) was the best opportunity ever. Our instructors gave us a choice of what we could do because it was our week. I really liked our instructors because they helped our team to work together.

My highlights were that we had a choice for some activities that we wanted to do. The high ropes was the best activity because we started working as a team. This activity was followed by caving. Caving was really cool because we were in the caves for 2 hours straight . It was an awesome experience.

What I learnt about myself was that I am capable of doing any outdoor activities without failing halfway in between. I also learnt that I can work as a team like anyone else.

I was surprised that our team began working together towards the end of our week at Hillary OUTDOORS. I was also surprised that one of our instructors hadn’t been there for long yet he knew a lot of things about the bush.


My lowlights were that when our week started on Monday we went on a 4 hour walk up a hard pressure stream and that we weren't  working as a team.
