Over August Mungalli falls has had 4 different schools visiting. They were all amazing, and I have delayed posting about them all hoping that I would get the permission to post the photo. Sadly that has not happened yet, so I need to continue without the photo.
Mt Garnett came to Mungalli at the beginning of the week, stay 3days and left on the Wednesday. They all claimed they were going to go to school the next day, but I don't believe them. We did have a lot of fun looking after this group, they were a smaller school which really enables us to get a chance to engage with everyone. The school was fun, and relaxed which is a blessing.
St Margaret Marys were the next school here, they arrived the same week as Mt Garnett they were a bigger all girls school. I think there was a higher level of all participation with the all girls school then some mixed schools. During their stay we all took part in some of the core activities of Mungalli Falls, Such as the Team build, Obstacle and landslide being just a few.
Townsville Central
This school tried to do everything and I think they managed it. Fishing, canoeing, abseiling plus the onsite activities such as Obstacle.
This school was fun, great students easy days. The canoeing and fishing was a full day off site, I don't believe many fish were caught but everyone had fun.
Cranbrook
This school was here the same time as Townsville Central, they also tried to do nearly all activities, they had a day canoeing, they achieved the abseiling and the onsite activities. In the evening we accompanied some of them down to the glow worms, these are fascinating creatures. We enjoyed the company of this school and I hope they come back for the full camp next year.
Mareeba SS
Last week we had this school in, we focused on the onsite activities juggling this schools hopes with one other school. The school was fun with only a few issues such as the weather turning on the last few days. The weather turning did not affect the energy of the group, everyone still took part in all activities and loved playing in the mud at the Obstacle course.
Townsville South & Woodstock
These guys were cool, having two schools combine for camp was great to see. These schools spent some time with Clark on the abseil and they also did some other pretty cool activities when they were here. They got the opportunity to work with most activity staff, and we nearly got the chance to put them all to work on their last day when the bus failed to turn up.
