NSSW – Aqua Sports Trip (Written by Leah and Will)

Written by Leah

On Wednesday students went to an Aqua sport trip where they did four activities windsurfing, sailing, kayaking and raft building.

Lots of students fell into the lake while windsurfing, the teachers must have found it hilarious. On the odd occasion a gust of wind would make us surf away. “One time I ended up going away from my partner and I had to paddle back to them,” said Leah.

We learned communication and collaboration during raft building since we needed to work together to move, make and sail the raft. The knots were quite challenging, and it was hard to tighten them. While we were racing someone lost a shoe, so we had to find it. Luckily it was floating.

Overall, everyone had an amazing time and would come again if they could. A huge thank you for the teachers that organised it.

On Wednesday 21st June, a selection of students including me signed up for an aqua sports trip. They did 4 activities, kayaking, sailing windsurfing and raft building. For me, the best activity was the windsurfing. You had to stand up and hold a sail without falling in which was almost impossible. In raft building you had to use your collaboration skills to build a raft with the rest of your team and bring it into the water. In kayaking we had to try stand up in out kayaks without falling and in sailing you had to navigate a boat to a buoy and back.
