“It’s just the VIBE of the thing”

On Wednesday 27th May, 48 students from Condobolin High travelled to Coonamble for the annual Vibe Alive Festival.

The group met at 5.30am, on the way to VIBE we were all very excited. Our first stop was Dubbo, Maccas for breakfast and some of the students had Subway, we had to be back on the bus by 9am.

It was very loud on the bus, but everyone was having fun by 11am we had arrived, we went to Coonamble High School and we unpacked and went straight to the showground.

When we got to VIBE, we did activities like heath and career workshops, or “My culture” where the boys could play the ‘dig’ or the girls could make jewellery.

Successful Credentials

Members from across the nine sites of Girri Girri Sports Academy converged on Lake Burrendong Sport & Recreation Centre this week with the one goal of gaining credentials.
The credentials on offer were vast and gave students many choices. The hardest part was choosing the strand to follow throughout the three day experience.
