Sunday – Arrival

Arriving at West Beach Caravan Park, 28 BHS students and 3 BHS staff organised themselves into bunk house groups and unpacked. After discussing some very important safety rules and behaviour expectations, the boring part was done and the fun began! The first thing everyone wanted to do was stretch their legs so we headed to the beach with a cricket set to play a few innings. It wasn’t long before bellies were grumbling though, so we headed back to base to organise some grub. Garlic bread for a starter, lasagna and salad for dinner, apple crumble for dessert and hot milos before bed. We spent the evening playing games back at base or sitting by the fire near the meal hub. Overall a pretty chilled out first day!

Monday – Sebastien Hughes

On the Monday of Success Camp we woke up to a breezy 7am to prepare for the day ahead, starting with some excellent breakfast. After we finished eating breakfast and packed lunch for the day we headed off to The Beach House for a few hours of adrenaline filled fun with events such as water slides, arcade games and bumper cars. Later on, we got to go on a letter hunt. The aim was to find a photo of an object on Jetty Road that looked like a letter of our name, some names were harder than others but we all managed to have some very creative ideas to spell our names out, (and check out a few shops in the mix). After we had finished the letter hunt we walked to West Beach mini-golf where I got a hole in 2 and finished 5 over par for the course. When we got back to the bunk house we settled in for dinner and showers and finished the day on a positive note.

Tuesday – Charlotte Moore

Our last day of Success Camp. Even though it was the last day, all of us reached new heights. Literally! Tuesday started with an assortment of items for breakfast like: cereal, toast, fruit and pancakes. After breakfast we packed our things and loaded up the bus, ready to go to our first location. Here we would test our fear of heights at West Beach Mega Adventure which is a multi-tiered aerial adventure course. At the top we had to take the “Leap of Faith” which is a 20m vertical drop down to finish the course. After we were all connected and strapped to the Leap of Faith zip wire, the crew member who was assisting us would either gently push us off or pick us up like a backpack and drop us down. Later on we watched Miss Schubert and two other students go on the Sky Swing and most of us laughed at their screaming. After we left West Beach Mega Adventure, we travelled to our last destination before going back to school which was Harbour Town. Here we had lunch, watched planes land and take off from the airport and went shopping. Finally we loaded back onto the bus and took the long trip back to school.
