‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. But in the silence, Stomps are heard, They stroll around, Without a word. You hide under covers, the steps coming nearer, but when it walks in your room, It couldn’t be clearer. It was the Christmas llama! He strolled to your bed. He gave you a bucket, That rested on his head. You looked in the bucket, It was filled with llama milk! You gave the llama a hug, The llamas fur was like silk. The llama walked to the window, and began to stare. “Goodbye human!” “And take care!” The llama flew off into the moon. Goodbye Christmas llama. We’ll see you soon. - Miss. A Year 8

It's Day One and we've all arrived safely. Lots of students were really excited to check out the 'pool room' at the centre. After the initial disappointment wore off upon discovering that this was a reference to a pool table, and not the imagined swimming pool, we all settled into our rooms. Dinner was eaten and chores were done - oh yes, chores! Some training in this area is still needed, but we have all week to practise cleaning skills. We then went orienteering around a big lake and everyone is now settling in for the night. Night! P.S. E veryone says, "Hi Mum - having fun!"
Cool!
