Term 1 Week 5 By Koala Sixer Damon Kwok   I arrived at school at 0845hrs, all excited to welcome the new recruits into the Six.  Shortly after, we formed up for Colour Party and then gathered in Indian File as instructed by Senior Sixer Ryan.

We then went to go for the competition. In the end, the six coached by Michael and Ryan – Wallabat – won first place and we were a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, we learned how to do the foot drill better and were prepared for next time.  Then, we played Butterflies and Bees with Grey Wolf for half an hour.
