Year 10 Camp

Student Reflection Comments

1. Positives (What I liked most and why) Sitting at the top of the Bluff for a solid hour and a half. The water sports. I wasn’t particularly good at it but it

was fun to mess around and have a water fight. Staying up late and chatting with the girls in my dorm.

Even though we are all in different social groups we socialised and had a lot of fun together throughout the camp.

Abseiling. It was a new experience for me, which is why I liked it the most.

2. Challenges (What did I find most challenging and put me outside my comfort zone?) One challenge was abseiling, I was worried that I would

fall. After doing it once, it was enjoyable to do. Trying not to over eat because all of the food was so

amazing. Running across the kayaks’ noses. 3. Something I learned that I didn't know or couldn't do before The instructors taught us windsurfing; I never fell off

and it was so much fun. I have never done windsurfing before and I learned quite quickly.

4. Something I learned about myself I am able to overcome my fears. I am the stealth master when the teachers came in to

the dorms late at night. Tehya and I are an awesome tag team in straw soccer.

My team won! Yay! That even when I don’t like something, I continue to

push through and try my hardest to succeed. I don’t snore as loudly and I didn’t panic as much. People view me in a different way to what I view

myself. I’m not scared of high places. 5. A funny/embarrassing moment you are happy to share Camp was full of embarrassing and funny moments

and are mostly too embarrassing and funny to share. 6. Anything you wish to suggest that would make the

camp better for next year’s group. An extra day.

I would suggest not having an aquatic camp during winter.

I guess more involvement, but it’s hard to improve an awesome camp!

7. How would you rate the Year 10 camp on a scale of 1-10 (10 being sensational)? 9 8.5 10 10/10 8 8. Any other comments? Good job to all the teachers and staff involved in

organising this camp; it was great and everyone had an awesome time!

The praise/worship at the end of each day was so fun and I loved the personal devotions that Mrs Saman and Solomon shared with us. (For the teachers we kept up, some of us are sorry…. some of us)

Good breakfast.

National Motor Museum It was with great excitement that 3W and 3F embarked

on an excursion to the National Motor Museum on

Friday 19th of May. The museum provided the perfect

venue to learn and understand how transport has

changed over time, which is a component of the Year 3

Humanities and Social Sciences subject. In addition to

viewing the various galleries, students were able to

participate in the museum’s Legoworks program, where

they created a small-scale production line as part of a

team. It was great to see the students’ problem solving,

coordination and teamwork skills in action. Thank you to

our wonderful parent volunteers for your help on the

excursion as it we couldn’t have done it without you. It

was a great day enjoyed by all! Mr Michael Webb

I really enjoyed our excursion. My favourite part was

looking at the Junk Car which had lots of different things

on it. Another part was when we had to find the

different little Model T Ford cars. Shayla Mason (3W)

My favourite part of the excursion was the Lamborghini

and Ferrari cars. I also learned that engines in old cars

are in the back of the car and their doors are much

smaller than they are today. Oliver Tingey (3W)

I really enjoyed the excursion. We made cars with Lego

and we had to hunt around the museum for different

things. Bodie Norton (3F)

I liked making cars as a group. We learned about how cars were so different 100 years ago. Arok Mabil (3F)

Walkathon

On Friday in Week 2 the sun was shining and the Junior

School had the their feet ready to raise money for the

Philippines. They walked and walked for an hour and a

half, with some students walking up to 20 laps of the

school. Each student raised money either per lap or by

donation, and everyone has been collecting their money

ever since. Thank you to all the parents who helped and

came out to watch and support.

Year 8/9 Boys Soccer Hope CC sent two Year 8/9 boys teams to the Northern Zone Soccer Carnival. Our Year 8 team finished sixth and our Year 9 team finished ninth in their respective divisions. Our boys battled gamely and played some competitive soccer, capitalising on the opposition's errors and finishing clinically in front of goal. Unfortunately, unlike the Chelsea Football Club who were crowned Premier League Champions this season, we were unable to win it all this year. Mr Penn and Mr Brawn (coaches) want to congratulate all players on a good carnival.

Book Club Book Club is a Vertical Learning

elective designed to encourage

and promote a love of reading,

thus improving literacy skills.

Students choose books from the

Library or bring their own appropriate books from home.

Students may choose to read magazines or comics on

occasions. Students are required to keep a reading log of

books read throughout the term and prepare a Book

Review for assessment. Students spend most of their

time in the Library participating in Silent Sustained

Reading.

“I enjoyed the quiet time in the library to read books.”

Hayden Bowers, Year 8

“I enjoyed reading books in the peace and quiet of the

library. It’s a good place to work or read.” Ogande Solo,

Year 6

“I liked being able to read books in a quiet space. Books

help expand your vocabulary. This is my favourite VL!”

Chloe Wyatt, Year 9

On Wednesday 12 April, Book Club went on an excursion

to the Munno Para branch of the Playford Library,

located in the new Stretton Centre. Students were given

a tour and talk about facilities available before having

some free time to spend in the library and playground.

“I enjoyed the library visit, looking at the centre and also

playing on the playground.” Caleb Hearn, Year 9

“I loved the fact that we had a chance to view all the

different floors of the centre.” Mercy Yebu, Year 7

“I enjoyed the visit to the library because there were

lots of new books to discover.” Sarah-Ann Scannell,

Year 7

University of Adelaide Every year the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences

the University of Adelaide’s historic Roseworthy

campus.

Jam Factory

On the 31st of May the Year 8 Art students had the

opportunity to have a guided tour of the Jam Factory,

where they were able to see a glass hot shop (glass

blowing), ceramics (throwing clay on a wheel and the

glazing process including the kiln), jewellery and metal

workshop and the furniture workshop. The students

were "blown" away with how many steps it takes to

make a glass blown vase. Following this we walked to the

Art Gallery where we saw the Ramsay Art Prize

Exhibition. This was a wonderful exhibition as it allowed

the students to interact with the art. This was their

favourite thing of the day. I then took them on a tour of

the gallery, explaining what each wing of the gallery

represented, and went through the Australian art

development. The following is what the students had to

say about what their favourite thing of the day was. Mrs

Saman- Art Teacher

inside the big tent at the Art Gallery.

Library Resources The Library has many exciting and informative children's books which we want to keep in pristine condition. Unfortunately, some junior picture books have recently had pages drawn in them with coloured pencils and textas, which spoils the presentation of the books for others. We will appreciate parents keeping an eye on younger children when the books go home to ensure pages aren't drawn in. Thank you.

Car Parking Dear Parents, from time to time there is a need to remind everyone of some matters requiring attention. There are two matters which we have been asked to remind you of:

Please do not queue on Yorktown Road if the Hope Christian College car park is congested. This practice has resulted in some near-misses recently. Motorists try to drive past the College but when the queue is blocking the lane, they encroach into the on-coming lane.

Also, please respect that the Craigmore Shopping Village car-park is a private car-park for people using the shops. The Council car-park at the eastern end of the shops is available for parents to park when collecting children, or attending the College for any length of time. The Managers of the Shopping Village have suggested they may fine people for parking there if not using the shops.

OSHC & Vacation Care Our Vacation Care packages are available on the College website or from the OSHC foyer. In addition to our normal activities, we have:

2 cinema excursions: “Despicable Me 3” and “Cars 3”

Incursions: Creative Digital Media: Jungle Theme and Children’s First Aid Course

Excursions: Bowling

Plus much more!

All Vacation Care bookings must be in by

Friday 23rd June.

Operating dates for Vacation Care:

Monday July 10th – 21st

We are also offering care for PUPIL FREE DAYS 24th

and 25th July

BOOKINGS REQUIRED. Please do not arrive at a session without making a booking.

For all enrolled OSHC and Vacation Care families, we have a successful Facebook page. This purpose of this page is to keep our families updated and informed. This page is not for bookings, but for important information you may need to know throughout holidays and Term time. www.facebook.com/groups/HopeOSHC/
