Highlights of 2014

The year has come to an end. And for us Year 8's, it will be our last year at St. Benedict's. But it would be nice to list our highlights of the year. I've been at St. Benedict's from Year 1 to Year 8, and I have enjoyed my time here greatly. I've seen everyone improve in their academics , sports, and their own character.

As always, OPC Camp will be the biggest highlight for Year 8's. It was week full of adventure and fun with classmates. It was great experience for all Year 8's.

The theme for the Production this year was different to the other years. It was like a futuristic space story named, 'Agents of Space'. Unlike other years where the theme has been 'Not Another Fairy Tale, 'Uno's Garden', and 'Remember the Days of the Old School Yard'.

I don't know why I'm putting this as a highlight as it is a very minor highlight, but basketball at school has always been really fun. And for me, it was big highlight for this year. I played for the basketball team last year and I was rubbish, I guess you could see the improvements. But everyone improved in their skills, partly from playing every morning tea and lunch. Even though there is basically no rules, where people can get away with 'travelling and 'double dribble', I guess you could describe it as street rules. But it still helped everyone to get better at whatever skill they lacked.

There are many more highlights but I just can't remember them, so yeah. Have a fun last two weeks of school.
