Year 9 Camp

I was finally able to upload photos from the year 9 camp to my laptop. I have some gorgeous shots from Mount Crawford. Although Adelaide scenery pales in comparison to Tassie, I have gained a lot of respect for the land here, and do love being in the Riverland especially. There are so many learning opportunities on the land. Opportunities that students will never get in the classroom. I guess that's why we do such intense camps at Pulteney. Despite having a very tough time this year, I am grateful that reflecting on the experience has made me want to embrace it all again next year. I just wish I could do this camp without 23 teenagers!!! :-)

We kayak along the Murray River for 2 days covering about 18 kms. I love the scenery, but am not so keen on kayaking all day.

Stupid me thought it would be fun to join in the scratch match with my Year 8 Netball team. Course I ended up rolling my ankle - BAD. First day off work this year for a stupid sprained ankle. I need to remember that I'm getting too old to muck around with teenagers without getting hurt!
