Last week, Year 9 and 10 students embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the Golden Sands Resort in Penang. The purpose of this camp was to encourage students to interact with others, demonstrate responsibility, and make choices. Upon arrival, students were tasked with selecting their preferred activities. Some opted to spend their time at the pool, playing water volleyball or sliding down waterslides. Others chose to play golf or take a ride on the hotdog float. Some ventured into the sea for a swim, flew kites, or went for a nature walk.

Over the following two days, students engaged in team-building activities, which provided opportunities for personal growth, fun, teamwork, and leadership development. Those who braved the Adventure Zone, featuring steep slides, definitely enjoyed the thrilling experience. Students also had the option to take part in mindfulness sessions at the beach, participate in morning runs, witness the sunrise at the beach, use the gym facilities, or simply socialise.

Additionally, evenings provided an ideal setting for soccer matches and bonding experiences. Gathering around a beachside bonfire, students and staff roasted marshmallows, listened to music, and appreciated watching the fire.

In line with our commitment to community service learning, students participated in a beach cleanup activity, focusing on collecting plastic litter. The proactive involvement of both staff and students fostered a deep connection with nature and prompted reflection on the importance of environmental preservation.

It was heartening to hear numerous students express their appreciation for the camp and share their positive experiences. Overall, the trip proved to be a memorable and enriching experience for all involved.
