Learning, team-building, communication, strengthening friendships and creating new friends were the many highlights of the week.
The weather challenged us towards to end of the week. However this encouraged the students to learn tolerance, self-management and cooperation within and amongst themselves:
Tolerance: Having to be confined in their cabins and to learn social interaction, even with students they do not regularly interact with.
Self-Management: Preparing and organising their belongings and property. Making attempts at drying their clothing, hanging their clothing in areas where they knew there would be wind and sun but not rain. Making make-shift clotheslines on chairs, patches of sunlight that would beam through the windows occasionally to dry their clothing.
Cooperation: Assisting those who were 'lazy' in positive and constructive ways. Instructing them to do things in a particular way, and if all failed, they would call their teachers.
All in all a great week and an enjoyable time. A well required rest needed by the students and the staff at the end of the week.
