Year 11 Urban Challenge

Secondary News - Aug 11, 2023

Embarking on the 'Urban Challenge', our Year 11 students seized the opportunity for an immersive expedition. Blessed with splendid weather, the three-day adventure was packed with activities that not only tested their mettle, but also provided moments of reflection and camaraderie.

The journey commenced on Wednesday with an early train ride to Sydney, swiftly transitioning into the heart of the Urban Challenge. Amidst the bustling Sydney CBD, student groups navigated to locate checkpoints, engaging in diverse activities at various places. Following lunch, the day continued with a visit to the Museum, a ferry ride to Manly for dinner, an inspirational worship with Mr Kunz, and a moonlit stroll over the iconic Harbour Bridge before returning to our lodgings.Thursday saw the teams immersing themselves in a tantalising Foodies Tour of Bankstown, where the rich tapestry of cultures offered an array of tastes, scents, and interactions. In the evening, the group attended two NRL games, introducing many to the thrill of a stadium atmosphere.

On our final day, we ventured to Sydney University, a sprawling campus teeming with a plethora of courses and inspiring ideas.This excursion provided an invaluable opportunity for our students to familiarise themselves with urban life outside the school environment, enhancing both their navigation abilities and life experiences.
