We welcome back the OSC grade 9 kids for
their Week Without Walls program at Borderlands. Following a tiring first day, here’s what
three students (Athena, Maya and Shobana) had to say:
Today was shape (to all people unfamiliar
with the hip and cool phrases of today – shape means awesome.) We threw
ourselves off canyons, flipped off some cliffs, and slid down rocks of all
different sizes, and all different levels of comfort. Looking back on today, we
all can’t believe we actually let ourselves get put into these situations and
conquered them. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this again!
I felt moments of fearlessness, moments of complete nervousness, and most of the time I felt pretty proud of myself! Can’t wait for the next few days, considering today was only the first day. We’ve definitely earned some bragging rights today.

When we arrived we did one activity called
Magic Stick where we all stood around this long pole and the pole would be lowered
down onto everyone’s index fingers. We had to lower it as a team without
letting our fingers leave the pole. It’s actually much harder than it seems. It
takes a lot of communication, and leadership to get the task done. It was a
really great first day.
