Last term forty-three Year 9 students and a group of enthusiastic teachers attended a three day camp in the City of Melbourne. The purpose of the camp was to engage in a variety of fun activities and at the same time familiarise oneself with the local transport system and popular city surrounds.

The group departed at 9am and headed for the Melbourne Discovery Centre which would become home for the coming three days. After dropping off luggage and being allocated rooms, the fun began. The days were jam packed full of activity sessions each morning, afternoon and evening.

The camp commenced with a morning at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre taking part in a variety of water activities with the wave pool and didving boards being a huge hit with all students. Tram travel took us back to the Southern Cross area where we had lunch and then enjoyed a leisurely stroll to Docklands. There we took part in some adventure packed ice-skating with several students displaying their outstanding skills. Others however strugged to stay on their feet and left the Wonderland Ice Park with very wet back sides. More tram travel took us back to tht Melbourne Discovery Centre where we prepared for dinner and dolled up to go to the movies at Melbourne Central in the evening. A late night was had by all as the excitement of being away from home kept teachers up til the wee hours of the morning.

Up early for a group breakfast and then off to Hard Rock for some indoor rock-climbing. Again some amazing climbing skills were displayed by many students. After a tiring two hour session of climbing we travelled by tram to Crown Casino. There we eagerly participated in two hours of unlimited games at Galactic Circus and had a relaxing lunch. Some time was spent relaxing in the sun by the Yarra before heading back to our base to prepare for dinner. We walked to Lygon Stret and ate at a cosy Italian restuarant eating unlimited pizza and finishing up with gelati. We spent the evening watching a movie at the Discovery Centre and eating hideous amounts of sweet treats. Despite the late night previously students did their best to keep the teachers up until well after midnight again.

Very weary and with lots of overtired and grumpy students we made our way across the road for a hot cooked breakfast at Muleta's. Breakfast was a quiet affair as the lack of sleep and the busy program was taking it's toll on the students. We ventured off to the QV centre for a game of ten pin bowling and some casual billiards. With 30 minutes to spare before lunch we browsed through the shops at the QV shopping centre before making our way to an Indonesian cafe for lunch for a new cultural experience. IT was time to pack our bags and clean our rooms. We departed for Lalor North Secondary College content that we had chosen to take part in this busy fun filled camp experience.

Thank you to all the students and the staff for this very memorable camp experience. It will no doubt be a highlight of the 2009 school year.

Teachers in attendance were Ms Gray, Ms Gannon, Ms Shaw, Ms Howlett, Mr Golding and Mr Seiler.
