The year 9/10 Outdoor Education class have now returned from their overnight hike up at Cope Hut. The journey was cut short after news of extreme weather conditions in the area; however the time spent up at Falls Creek was enough to cover the teamwork and outdoor skills that were practised on the hike.
Students hiked on the high plains for approximately 10km to get to Cope Hut, where they camped the night. They worked in groups to put up tents, cook meals using portable stoves and build a camp fire. The next day they packed up camp and began the long walk to Fitzgerald Hut, stopping at Wallace’s Hut to take a group photo. On the way to Fitzgerald Hut the second morning however, the rest of the hike was called off due to heavy winds and rain.
Overall, the trip was a success despite the last minute cancellation.

The Annual House Athletics Carnival was held this week on a picture perfect day. The participation, sportsmanship and house spirit shown by the students throughout the day meant that everyone had a great day. Several school records were broken over the day. At the end of the day it was Feathertop who conquered and gratefully accepted the house cup.
