YEAR 10 SOUTH COAST TOUR In week 8 of Term 2, Year 10 Special Interest Volleyball students travelled to Victor Harbor for the South Coast Tour. In the period of the three days that we were on the trip we visited Hallett Cove R-12 School, Reynella East College, Victor Harbor High School and Seaford Secondary College. We played with and against students from these schools. We ran coaching sessions to assist in teaching the game and building friendships with students we will hopefully see in the future at tournaments. We split into ‘tribes’ made up of a mixture of boys and girls and participated in a variety of activities designed to stretch our problem solving and teamwork skills. The ‘Master Chef’ desert challenge (with fruit as the hero) was a highlight. The quality of banners produced in that competition were amazing. Paint-balling was something everybody enjoyed.
The option to eat together as a big group in the local restaurants was a great experience. Schnitzels were the most popular choice. It was excellent to share a meal like this with friends from school and the volleyball teachers. At both venues, locals and staff commented on the exemplary way we conducted ourselves at dinner. Overall the trip was really enjoyable and everyone loved the experience. Thank you to the volleyball staff for all the planning and hard work – you made it a memorable time.
