MITS Students Camp Feedback

Hi David (Hone)

Please find attached some photos and quotes
from our Term 3 camp. Please do pass this on to
any of the other Rotarians.
The students had an absolutely wonderful time (as
you will read!), with many of them giving different
activities a try for the very first time, including raft
building.
They also had the chance to reflect on the differ-
ences between Lake Eildon (ie. Tuangurong coun-
try) and their own country.
Thank you so much for making this camp possible
for our students, and for all your support. Please
do get in touch if you have any questions, and I
hope to chat with you soon regarding further po-
tential support from the Rotary Club of Beaumaris
– you have been amazing!
Quotes from students:
“I learned to cook, set up tents and to balance on
a rope” (Leo – Ngukurr, NT)
“I loved the whole thing!” (Liam – Maningrida, NT)
“I was kind of cold when we first got there… I
liked the mountains, and the hills had a good view
from the top” (Jenae – Tiwi Islands/Canberra)
“I would like to go again because I liked the long
(bike) ride” (Jodie – Milikapiti, NT)
“I loved walking, because it’s like I’m exploring.
And I loved the river because there were no croc-
odiles!” (Cecil – Pirlangimpi, NT)

Best wishes
Paul
