Last week, the annual Year 10 Ski Camp returned after a two year hiatus.

The students were very excited and the camp lived up to their expectations. Over 5 days, 4 groups of students braved the early 4:30am start to venture up to Mt Buller.

There were some experienced skiers and snowboarders amongst the group, but the majority were first time skiers.

After a lesson each day, the boys grew in confidence, putting themselves outside their comfort zone and learning a new skill. It was great to see students working together to help each other out. Groups were treated to all spectrums of the weather scale, and even with gale force winds and very low visibility on some days, the boys persevered and showed great resilience to ultimately have a great time. Many students have commented that this was the highlight of their time at St Bernard’s so far.

A huge thank you goes to the staff that gave up their time to assist in the running of the camp, Mr Osborne for organising the camp, and of course to the students for giving their all throughout the experience
