Year 9 set new Ski Camp standards

Congratulations to Year 9 students who completed a challenging Ski Camp last week at Thredbo. With hours of lessons each day, plus 2×2 hours of practice time, Year 9 needed to access all of the fitness they have developed through those runs to Bondi in PDHPE lessons.

Four days of 6.15 am wake ups and skiing all day certainly take their toll on a young body, and young and not so young were all feeling the pace by the end of the week.

Year 9 set new standards this year, with every student completing 100% of their ski lessons.

A few tried their luck at “the dog ate my homework” excuses, but were given no quarter by this crop of Emanuel Ski Camp staff.

So a new benchmark has been set, and it will be interesting to see if the current Year 8 students are up to the challenge in 2018!

To all of Year 9 and the staff, Garry Case, Lara Ephron, Kristy Reed, Lauren Adelstein and Kobi Bloom a very big well done and thank you.
