LASER tag and escape rooms with stories to solve have challenged Pyramid Hill College students and their MATES mentors.
The MATES trip to Bendigo was organised and funded by the North Central LLEN and Northern District Community Health ENGAGE! Program.
Students and mentors devised activities to finish the program’s year.
Four Escape rooms at the Bendigo Breakout Room put everyone’s teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test.
The winning team of Suzie Mulligan, Mia Farrar, Angie Eads, Ellesha Fergusson, Maria Umali and Sally Manton proved the most competitive, escaping from the espionage room in record time.
After lunch the group of eight mentors and 12 students went to The Zone where Jasmine Twigg, Jason Gould, James Hercott, James Bojo, Harry Goodes and Zac Manton took to the go-kart track, displaying some slick driving techniques, avoiding crashes on the corners as much as they could.
Laser tagging teams were relentless in hunting down their opponents, dodging fellow students and MATES mentors, with many casualties. But all participants survived!
North Central LLEN pathways and project officer, Barb Bear, said “The day was a good chance for students and mentors to get to know each other in a different environment and build on their strengths and shared interests.”
