Aidan's+Portsea+Camp+reflection

1. How were you feeling prior to this experience?
=== Prior to he experience i was feeling a bit scared because i didnt know what was going to happen apart from the activites but also i didn't know what was going to happen between the camps and i was not really sure on what to bring to the camp. Also i was kinda happy because i needed time from the family and the activites sounded fun. ===

2. What were you nervous about? What were you excited about?
=== Well at the start i was nervous about what will happen on camp. I was nervous that i would not understand of what to do, and that i would fall behind on the activites. Also i would nervous that i would loose some of my stuff on camp. But i was excited about the activites that we will be doing like the giant swing for an example. ===

3. What do you think St Mary's is trying to achieve by taking you on this experience?
=== I think that St Mary's was trying to achieve that we are able to do things out side of just working. I mean like camping because some people have never done that before and it would be a good experience that they would be able to be able to do that. Also to teach people to be able to look after themselves while they are along. ===

4. Do you think these experiences achieved these things? Why/ why not?
=== With some people i think it did but some people it didnt because some people already know how to like look after themsleves while they are out like camping, and some people didnt really make an effort to learn something for the experience but to me yes i did because i took part, but also i have camped before so i know what its like. ===

5. What was your favourite activity? Why?
=== My favourite activity was there Giant swing. I chose the giant swing because i have never done something like that before. All the others i have done before in my life except the giant swing but now that i have done it i would say it is my favourite. ===

6. what was your least favourite? Why?
=== My lease favourite was the snorkiling. I didnt like this one because during the experience at one stage i was unable to swim because i couldnt breath. Also i have never done it before so i didnt know what to except. So i was scared that something was going to happen. ===

7. Do you think this experience will help your time at St Mary's? Explain.
=== To be honest i dont think it acturly wont because the camp didn't really had to do anything at St Marys's. Camp is something that i like doing and i want to keep on doing it. So the camp is not in the past and yeah it doesn't really have to do anything with St Marys only the people at St Marys. ===

8. Discuss something you learnt about yourself while on this experience.
=== I think that on the camp i have learnt something about my self. I have leant that i am able to more things if i set more things like snorkling if i put my mind to it. Normaly i dont set my mind to things but on camp i did and i wa able to do more things. ===

9. Discuss something you learnt about someone else while on this experience.
=== I have learnt alot of things about other people while on the experience. I have learnt that alot of people that are at St Mary's can be very social. Thats just one thing about people, i have learnt alot of things about different people. ===

11. What do you think could be improved for next year’s portsea experience?
=== I think i could maybe put a bit more effort because now i know that if i set my mind to things i would be able to acomplish it. So now i will do it straight away and do it more often to improve and also to help out i will be able to get futher in life. ===
