Today Room 11 and the rest of the senior syndicate took on the daunting Sugarloaf ascent, from the Church Road face. This grand walk was a 10 kilometre loop from the gates of AMS to the summit of Sugarloaf and back and was undertaken as part of our Camp Kaitawa training. Leaving school just after 9am we had rest stops near Pettigrew Green Arena and then the Taradale skate park before tackling the last leg and Sugarloaf itself. It is with pride I can report that every member of the expedition managed to attain the summit, complete a safe descent and then return to the welcoming air-conditioned comfort of our classrooms. Well done AMS seniors, a great effort. Now, onwards to Kaitawa.
