Year 9 Camp in Rayong

Our Year 9 students recently took part in a memorable residential camp in Rayong, filled with outdoor activities, exploration, and shared experiences. From kayaking and beach visits to creative activities and cultural stops, the trip offered students the opportunity to build friendships, try new things, and create lasting memories.

Below, students share reflections from their three-day camp.

The first day was filled with excitement. We spent a few hours on the bus, chatting and laughing with our friends along the way. When we arrived at the kayaking area, the teachers ensured everyone was safe before we began. Kayaking quickly became one of the funniest parts of the day. My friend and I kept getting stuck in the grass every couple of minutes, which made us a little worried but also made us laugh. By the end, our arms were very sore – I felt like a bodybuilder! – Amina

On the second day of camp, we travelled to the island of Koh Kham. While many students enjoyed snorkelling, I chose to sit on the warm sand and take in the beautiful surroundings. The sound of the waves was calm and peaceful. Afterwards, we visited another beach before heading back to the hotel. It was a relaxing and enjoyable day. – Micah

On the third day of our residential trip, we started with breakfast at the hotel at 7:30 am, where there were several options to choose from. At 8:45 am we met at the hotel entrance and boarded the bus for our final activities. Between 9:00 and 10:00 am we visited a metal art gallery. The artworks were impressive, although some were a little scary. After that, we went to the Light Museum where we also took part in a painting activity. The museum was very photogenic, and we had lots of fun taking photos and creating lasting memories from the trip. For lunch, we had seafood noodles, and the teachers also ordered chicken noodles and fried chicken for those who preferred something different. By 3:30 pm we arrived back at school, bringing a wonderful three-day camp to a close. – Yu
