Sovereign Hill Camp

Earlier in the month, Peter was privileged to go with the school's year 3/4 classes to Sovereign Hill for a three day camp. It was a very successful camp all round. The experience offered by Sovereign Hill was perfectly pitched for this age level. The sleeping facilities were adequate. The effort to get all the kids to sleep went reasonably well and within an hour of lights out! The teachers and volunteers (and Peter was one of these) stayed focused on the care and direction they provided. The timetable was well kept to. The food was adequate (though slow at "table meal" times) and the decision to prohibit all personal "snacks" paid off. The picture above (filtered as a painting) hopefully shares the fun and success of the camp without breaching publicly shown school image regulations. For Peter's group, the two best places were the creek (panning for gold) and the sweet making demonstrations (for the free samples that followed). What fun they were!
