Last week, Year 11 stepped into a scene of nostalgia, reminiscing on their early high school experiences. Over a cup of tea, they sat around a trangia, showing the new Year 7 students, the ins and outs of their first camp cooking experience. The initial nervous smiles, and timid introductions soon turned into uninterrupted chatter and laughter filling the basketball courts. Year 11 shared stories of their Outdoor Education program experiences. Some exciting, some slightly horrifying, but altogether, eased some anxieties on Year 7’s upcoming trip, providing them with an ambitious and excited mindset before they head on their journey. This initiative brought the Glenaeon community even closer, and we cannot wait to see where this friendship goes next. From Year 11 to Year 7, we wish you the best of luck on your first outdoor education program (starting next week!), it will be a memory you take with you for the rest of your high school journey.
