Mt Buller Day Trip
On Thursday 13th September, 63 students and 8 staff left Mooroolbark College at 5am to hit the slopes at Mt Buller for the day. The day was spectacular – with over 1.5m of snow and the sun shining! Students started their day with a ski or snowboard lesson. For some students this was their very first time seeing snow, for others they had been up a few times before. Every student was determined to learn or enhance their skills and it was great to see students giving it their all. After lunch, students used their skills of skiing and snowboarding to explore Mt Buller and try out some new runs. The whole day was filled with teamwork as students helped and encouraged each other down the slopes. Quotes from students that sum up the day – “I can’t wait for next years trip!”, “I’m calling Dad now to ask for a snowboard” and “When I am 18, I am going to get my own gear and drive up here with mates on the weekends, this is amazing!”. We are looking forward to running the trip again next year. Keep your eyes peeled for information and get in fast (limited spots available)!
