Special events at my school

SPECIAL EVENTS AT MY SCHOOL
Today I will be telling you about five of our special events.
Triathlon team event- OIS is probably one of the only schools in Otago To have a Triathlon Team Event. It's when you and 2 others pick an event (swim, bike, run) and you do your event and your other two friends do the other events. It's a lot easier than the classic Triathlon but you don't get a reward like the people who do the classic Triathlon

Camp fundraising- At OIS we have a Year 8 (grade 7) camp and we have fundraisers for it. We either have a Garage sale, Make Cheese rolls, Make and sell Cakes, Take something to sell at a Mini Gala. If you really want to make sure that you have enough money to go to camp you can do all the options.

Cross Country- At my school we have a semi-big field that is big enough to run a full- fledged 1 kilometre (1036 yards) run. Everyone has to compete in Cross Country ( unless you're on holiday). If you come first in our Cross Country you go to the North Otago Cross Country and if you beat that you go to the Otago Cross Country.

James Hargest- At my school we have a sporting rivalry with James Hargest college in Invercargill where each year they come up to us in Oamaru or we go down to Invercargill and play sports with them. We play most sports Soccer, Basketball, Cricket, Netball and many other sports.

Year 8 camp- I may have hinted at this one earlier but this had to be on this list because It's the best part of OIS (apparently). You get to choose what Camp you go on for a whole week!. The options are Kiwi Explorer a camp for adventurous people who like Soccer and biking, Wainui a laid back camp for people that just want to relax, Boyle River a mix between Kiwi and Wainui relaxation on the first day and adventuring on day two, Last but not least Mt Somers it's basically Kiwi explorer but more hiking no biking and lots of scenic views. If you had went to my school which camp would you go on?.
