Camp Survey

It would be great to get some feed back on camp from students and parents about what was enjoyed and what went well along with any room for improvement to make the camp an even better one in the future, It would be great if you could take 5 minutes to complete the survey

WHAT A CAMP!!!!

It was an absolute pleasure taking you all on camp this week. What an awesome bunch of students and super group of parents! Everyone got stuck in and made it a camp to remember. The manners were top notch, attitudes superb, weather amazing and food delicious. You can't ask for much more than that!

To remind us of our time on camp I would love to get hold of the photos somehow (unfortunately my camera conked out on the first day). I saw a few cameras snapping so we should be able to put together something.

Room 24, what did you think of camp? Tell us your funny camp stories... Highlights... Firsts...

A couple of camp reminders...

2 MORE SLEEPS!
Remember - A Newspaper and a decent sized drink bottle for the tramp.
If you have any last minute questions, post them on here - I will make sure I post the answers on Sunday night before camp.
I can't wait! See you all nice and early on Monday!
Happy baking!

Here is a question for you: What are you looking forward to most about camp?

What a start!

What a great start to Balmac you have all made. You have settled quickly into Room 24 and are ready to get amongst the awesome opportunities on offer at Balmac. I have been so impressed by your positive attitudes and level of support towards one another already!
The baby photo competition took place on Friday. What a bunch of cute baby photos! It was a rather tough task to match the baby to the Year 7. We will find out on Monday how you all got on.
Well done to those who have managed to cover their books already - they are looking very stylish.
Remember we have swimming this Wednesday - don't forget your togs! I'm really looking forward to another super week! I'm 'dog-sitting' my sisters dog (a very excited border collie lab cross called 'Lacey') today, so we are off to the beach for an adventure.
