Year 9 Alpine Ski Camp at Falls Creek
Our Year 9 students recently returned from their Alpine Camp at Falls Creek, where they had an unforgettable adventure in the snow. Staying at the Howman’s Gap campsite, which was beautifully covered in fresh snow, the group was greeted with excellent conditions for their time on the mountain.
For many students, downhill skiing was a brand-new experience. With the help of a skilled instructor, everyone learned the essentials of skiing — from stopping safely to making turns. Once the basics were mastered, students had the chance to challenge themselves on a variety of ski runs, putting their new skills to the test. While there were plenty of tumbles along the way, there were even more laughs, and it was fantastic to see everyone’s confidence and ability grow enormously over the three days.
The camp also included a session of cross-country skiing, where students learned how to use a different type of ski to travel up and down hills during a snow-covered hike. This provided a whole new challenge and added another highlight to the camp experience.
Although the mountain offered plenty of snow and some low visibility at times, students made the most of every moment and embraced all the challenges that came their way.
A big thank you goes to all of our Year 9 students who showed resilience, enthusiasm, and a willingness to give everything a go. We would also like to thank the dedicated staff who supported the camp and made this experience possible.
