Year 10 Camp Reflection 

“We do not learn from experience … we learn from reflecting on experience.” - American philosopher John Dewey.

Reflection is widely regarded as the most important part of the learning process. Following a week at camp, I would certainly encourage all of the Year 10 students to take some time to reflect on their experience over the next week. Today in tutor time, students completed an evaluation of the trip and will be looking at an experiential learning ladder later in the week to identify what skills they have used / developed during the trip. 

As head of Year 10, I was really impressed by the number of students who pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and with the support of their peers, overcame fears. Over the course of the week students experienced caving, white water rafting and high ropes activities in the 'Mountain school'. Photo's from the camp will be added to the folder here over the next few days.

Thanks for supporting the camp trip this year!
