Visiting weekend is just around the corner, after what seemed a quick first five weeks. The community is really excited and can’t wait to share their experiences, photos and memories with their family and friends. So far the recent memories would include:

• Deb Gray
  She came to our school yesterday and spoke about never giving up and to never limit yourself as to what seems possible. At three foot eight she has travelled around the world, alone, been a mother, can drive, and now inspires teenagers to always believe in themselves. With no arms she is still able to drive, write, eat and do everyday things.
• Underground river
  Roughly three days ago core 2 and core 1 went to an underground river, some who believed they were claustrophobic struggled or surprised themselves and the rest of us had a FANTASTIC experience. We all got very dirty and wet but nobody complained, probably because of the adrenalin pumping madly. We managed to squeeze through the tiny holes in the rock and slip all the way down to the pool of water. We heaved our own bodyweight up a waterfall and slippery sloping rock, we all took on leadership roles and helped the group make it all the way until we reached the final destination; sunlight.

Overall we’re half way through our time up here, it’s sad to think we’ll never see all 44 of us again. But the experiences we’ve had and the several hundred photos taken with us forever.
