IB Orientation

For our IB Orientation we travelled to Kithulgala Borderlands. It's a place filled with adventurous activities that relate to working together with the people you are surrounded with. Our class had spend 3 days and 2 nights there where we would contribute to all these outdoor activities as well as develop key aspects of people personality and change the way particular students see things in reality. This whole trip could be a life changing experience to a lot of the students because it trains your mind to be patient and relaxed depending on what situation you are in.

The reason why we as a grade travelled there was so that we can all come together as one class but at the same time to have fun.  Each day we spent there we were given challenges to accomplish and figure out solutions to. One the first day, once we arrived at our location we all got straight into the water and started with our first activity for the 3 day trip.
The guides there prepared us for the water and that was going to be the first challenge we had to get used to the cold iced river water. We went rafting, as a class we were divided up into even groups so that roughly 6 students per 1 guide and 1 teacher would join together into one rafting boat. The aim was to be able to work with your boat group, it was to show collaboration and communication to see if one voice could lead the whole group in order to control & paddle their raft to the end of the river. The other days involved something new, something that we as students could all achieve. By the end of the trip we really were able to see a bond between newer people, this trip had connected people and separated their differences from each other. Our goals were to have fun, learn and develop our knowledge of the outdoors, their goals as a adventure club was to get us to unite and work as one which was well achieved by the end of these 3 days and 2 nights.
