On the 21st of September our Year 7&8 Mainstream classes went to the Gold Coast for an overseas experience. There was a total of 38 students, 4 teachers and 10 parent helpers.
The students enjoyed their experience and got to visit 4 theme parks; Dream World, Sea World, Movie World and my favourite, Wet'n Wild.
These are a few photos from our trip. We hope you enjoy them.

Report Writing on the Wonders of the World
Ancient Statue
It was built many years ago by a young man named Chares Lindos and his men from Greece. In 226BC an earthquake struck Rhodes and destroyed the statue to its knees.
For almost a thousand years the statue was left ruined. It took 12 years to re-build. Before the destruction it was 30 meters high making it one of the tallest statues of the ancient world.

Colossus of Rhodes
The Colossus of Rhodes was one of Greeks most well known statues. It is significant because of its representation over the countries victory with Cyprus. It was considered to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
It stood for 56 years over the city of Rhodes. It's golden templates reflected the sun light. People would gaze at the silver, bronze and golden parts of the statue and be in awe of its beauty.
In 226BC a massive earthquake destroyed the statue up to its knees.
