After seven stressful days of elevated Covid levels, we finally have the final go ahead to go on our class camp to Living Springs on Monday 8th March.
We all breathed a sigh of relief as we listened to the joint press conference with our Honourable Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and the Director General of Health, Dr Ashley Bloomfield on Friday.
With Christchurch now at Level 1, we are able to be part of a gathering with more than 100 people. That means that if we had stayed at Covid Level 2 we would have been unable to go. We understand that we are extremely fortunate. Many students around the country have had class camps cancelled or postponed because of the change in Covid alert levels. We really feel for them because we know how excited we were in the lead up to our camp. Hopefully they will be able to go on a different date.
On Monday morning we will all be at school before 9am with our camp gear. We are looking forward to going away together but also to trying new things. At Yaldhurst, one of our values is being an open-minded explorer. We will definitely need to keep this with us this week as we attempt new activities and tasks that we have never tried before. A big one for many of us is that fact that we are going away overnight without our parents. Because of events over the last two years, for many this will be their first school camp. We are ready and we are excited!!
Keep an eye on our blog over the next few days to see what we get up to.
