Every year a group of us who are sponsored by the M&E programme are invited to a camp where we do team exercises, fun activities and of course learn some new and interesting maths.
This year was by far the best camp we have had in 2 years. Besides the massive increase in the number of students involved (128 in total), there was also a remarkable advancement in the learning programme as well as the activities, which were very exciting. The camp was hosted at Leisure Bay (South Coast) and it was so amazing, living on the beachfront, waking up to the beautiful sunrise from the east of the ocean and breathing the fresh air of the waters.
On the first day we were all very anxious to meet each other. I must point out that many of the guys were looking forward to seeing the females (and vice versa) as we know what happens when teenagers get together.
We were divided into groups with the names of the participating World Cup Soccer teams as our group names. We were also each given a South African supporter's jersey which set every spirit closer to that of the nation ahead of this historical event.
My best experience was go-karting at the Wild Coast Sun where I drove at my maximum speed and outran my competitors, and that could possibly be the best R30 spent of my life.
And then, of course, there was a bit of learning here and there, 4 sessions of maths, science and LO during the day. The highlight was meeting Mr Peter Glover, the popular science teacher from the learning channel. Thanks to our incredibly organised maths teacher, we felt that all the work done there was revision for us.
Thank you to ISASA and all the sponsors involved in the M&E Programme for giving us the opportunity to develop ourselves in all aspects of life ahead of our long journey post-school.
