Grade 9 students have made a great start to their senior years at Queechy. For grade 9 students, 2021 is about Stepping Up, focusing on courage, resilience and aspiration. In the first 2 days of school, students were engaged in a variety of learning activities that introduced these ideas. This focus will continue throughout the year and will be of particular relevance in our grade camp to Narawntapu National Park in March, where students will be involved in a range of activities including bushwalking, kayaking and camp cooking.
