CACTUS is now on YOU TUBE! (See at right.)
CACTUS came under enemy fire today attempting to stretcher the wounded to safety. Determination, attitudes and team cohesion were sorely tested as the teams struggled to carry their wounded to safety under withering sniper fire! Both teams earned 30+ bonus press up for being late back to base. (Photos of casualties from enemy fire at right).
CACTUS CHALLENGE DATES.
12th & 13th November, Fri night/Saturday (CORRECTION: This is NOT Westland anniversary weekend). SET THESE DAYS ASIDE! The Challenge is early before senior school breaks for exams so expect to be pushed hard to prepare. Course will continue till December 8 for those who can still attend.
Hi guys,
Term 4 starts WEDNESDAY 13TH OCTOBER.
Most CACTI have exams this year so hang on for the ride as we try to fit it all in!
Term 3 challenge is still up in the air after the biggest storm in a long while dumped extreme weather on us. If we can we will try and make it happen in the first week or so of term. Either way the term should be full of challenges.
Go hard out at the study if you have exams and go hard out at CACTUS as much as you can to keep the body and mind sharp and focused.
Yeeeeeeehah! Adrenalin Adventure was an awesome time. Arthur's Pass and into the Devil's Punchbowl walk in the dark with snow underfoot. Then off toe Spencer's Beach on the northern outskirts of Chch. Lights out at 11 and up at 6:00 - 10 minutes to fall in! South along the beach with a stretcher run and return with sand in the packs, breakfast tidy up and then into the trees for and Adrenalin challenge.
The CACTI excelled on these challenges - 100 activities spread over six "paths" in the trees starting at 1.5 metres off the ground ascending to 20 m! Scariest activity: the drop-in flying fox into the spiders web on level six!
We concluded with a session in snow and boulders at Castle Hill on the way home.
Thanks to Joe Davies who stood in as supervisor on this event, and the amazing young people who made it such ha great time. See the photos - click on the slide show to access the album and bigger pictures.
