Last week’s Junior Music Camp was a tremendous success, despite the fierce storm, blackout, freezing conditions and hail! Congratulations to all the Students who dealt with these less-than-ideal conditions with good humour and common sense.

The Year 6/7 Band and Music Connection braved the wintery conditions at the Karnkendi Campsite in Nelson and enjoyed a full day of rehearsals and activities before the storm hit. Based around the theme of ‘The Lion King’, Students were divided into teams and collaborated in many different ways.

Once the storm arrived, Students tried to sleep through the noise of the weather. When the blackout occurred, everyone was grateful for the wood fires so all could stay warm! With the assistance of a generator in the morning, all campers were able to have a hot shower and some breakfast before setting off to collect the Storm Drum Corps on the way to Millicent.

Students presented an excellent concert to the St Anthony’s School Students. It was a great showcase of their musical talents, with the audience very appreciative of their performance. Despite the many tired bodies, the Students were great ambassadors for the College.

A huge thanks to the Staff who supported the Students during the camp in such trying conditions – Tameka Nube, Jodi Swiggs, Alison Gwilym and Nathan Creedy. It truly was a camp that we won’t forget!
