Year 7 ended their year with a day full of salt air, teamwork and true seafaring spirit as they set off on a Tall Ships excursion from Darling Harbour. Once aboard, students learned the rhythms of ship life, hoisting the sails, handling ropes, taking on different roles, and working together to move as one crew. The sails were raised as they glided past Lady Macquarie’s Chair, before making their way across the harbour to anchor near Taronga Zoo. Students enjoyed a refreshing swim, laughter echoing across the water on a warm Sydney afternoon. Throughout the day, the experience beautifully echoed their Main Lessons in Mechanics and the Voyages of Discovery. This excursion offered a living, breathing sense of how forces, pulleys, exploration and human ingenuity all come together at sea. Huge thanks to Emma, Elena, Rhoda, and Blaise (our ever-watchful lifeguard) for guiding and supporting the students, it was a joyful and memorable way for Year 7 to close a huge year.
