Yr 10 ‘Leadership’ Camp and X Country Relays

Thursday and Friday saw the annual Yr10 ‘leadership’ camp. Which really involved nothing to do with leadership at all. We were down at Phillip Island adventure resort (same place we had yr6 camp). The camp was pretty lame and our group didn’t even get to do the good activities like the giant swing and the crate climb because we weren’t there for long enough. On Thursday night we had a disco and karaoke night which was really bad. The girls didn’t turn up until there was only 25mins left because of their guest speaker. Friday was time for more activities and then off to home. But it also involved a bag check which took 3 hours because someone had their ipod ’stolen’. So all in all a pretty average camp that didnt live up to its intended purpose.

Now this morning i am a bit pissed off because it was cross country road relays in Bundoora which took ages to get to. I was forced to run a 3km time trial by myself because the other members of my team were no-shows. It went alright and i was quite happy with my time but thats not the point. If people are going to pick a sport for school then they should at least bloody turn up so that it does not disadvantage other members of the team. School sport is compulsory and there is no reason whatsoever to not be there especially when you have said to the coach that you are available to play. Hopefully heads will roll on Monday. Well done to the U16 boys who won their race by a very convincing margin.
