Grade 10 Bali Trip May 4 - 8, 2009

This year’s Grade 10 set to the skies for the annual Bali Trip with Mr. Andreas, Ms. Temmy, and Mr. Johnson. We got to the airport in plenty of time (unlike last year) to enjoy this fabulous island experience.
We tackled team-building challenges on the Treetop Adventure Course. Pamela was the only girl to finish the expert course - way to go! We hit the rapids of the Ayung River with laughter and exhaustion. Stephen T. drove his team to final victory.
Our more educational experiences came when visited the Turtle Reserve where we got to handle LARGE snakes, iguanas, ugly fruit bats, and cool sea turtles. We also visited the Bali Cultural Center where we discovered how the Balinese people live, dance, and worship. They also treated us to a private 40 minute Kecak Performance.
This year we reached out with a hand of help and a heart of love as visited the Salam Orphanage. We collected money and bought school supplies and sports equipment, and gave them a cash donation. They performed for us and we sang for them; then we joined together and while some played basketball others had fun just playing and talking with them. When we returned, we wrote them cards and sent them pictures of our time together. We all agree that it was the most rewarding time of the trip.
Here’s what we have to say about the trip...
