One and All

Three of our students, Thin Pyant Hlaing (class 3), Payton Jaimon Press (class 3) and Jean Baraka Kabangu (class 37), had the opportunity to participate in the One and All Youth Development Voyage, sponsored by Rotary Clubs through Adelaide. The boat departed on Sunday 13th April from Port Adelaide and arrived back to the same dock on Thursday afternoon 17th April. The five-day journey on the sailing ship saw our students be part of the sailing crew. They learnt many skills and gained valuable experiences, whilst also making many new friends. Students recount their two most positive experiences:
“The best thing was the friendships and connections I made with the people on the boat. Everyone became close and it was really hard to say goodbye. The crew taught us how to use the sails, ropes, tie knots and climbing. I had to control the helm which was one of the hardest things I learnt” (Payton).
“I really enjoyed sailing every day, playing uno and activities including climbing, our port watches group, and all the kind people I met.” (Thin)
