Year+7+Leadership+Camp

=Year 7 Leadership Camp:=

===In November we year 7's go to a leadership camp up in Mount Holdsworth. Only the year 7's go because they are the leaders of the school next year. The 2 teachers that are taking us are looking for responsible, mature and trustworthy people to be the Blacks Hats and also head Boy and Girl===

===Today (9.11.11) we did a game which was part of our leadership course we had to set up a game for the rooms 5 and 3, they were little kids but we coped with them really well. There were 4 groups and each of those games were made up by us year 7's. Basically it was just a game that was changed a bit, our game was Rob the Nest but before you can get the tennis ball to take back your tennis ball you had to go around cones. I think that the little kids did well and I think they enjoyed our game which was really good.===

I think the game day / leadership day went really well.
===We have finished camp and it was really fun. The first day was pretty cool, we went up to Mount Holdsworth. It was raining so we had to put our tenets up in the rain. The tent that I was sleeping in was unfortunately a big tent so it took quite a while to put up. When it had stopped raining we got our gear for tramping in and walked up to Atewhakatu which to 2 1/2 hours to get up there and 2 1/2 hour back. The good thing about the tramp was that there we 3 swing bridges that we really cool but the negative thing was that it started raining again then we got soaked. On the second day we got had breakfast which we made ourselves then we had to walk out into the bush and reflect on what we think went well on the leadership camp we walked along the track and the teachers dropped us off as we went along the path. We then did the bush bashing which was when we had a compass and the coordinates and we were sent out in groups and all the groups were supposed to end up in the at the same place which was a exciting place ... it was a long drop. Then we went to the river to make stone cairns but first we had to cross it which was hard because the water was super freezing. Then we went back to the campsite and but our things on the bus and headed back to school. It was a really cool 2 days.===
