Camp Ten - For the last three days the Grade 10s have been involved in leadership and team-building activities as part of their Physical Education Course.  On Wednesday they went to McNab's Island, on Thursday they went to On-Tree at Martock and today they spent a few hours at Atlantic Cirque.  By all accounts the girls enjoyed their experiences. A big thank you to Mr. Griffiths for organizing Camp Ten and to the teachers who accompanied the students each day.  It is indeed a team effort!
