Speaker 2: So that's essentially the new entrance of Eashburton College. A yeah,

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: so that must be fun sort of helping them settle

31
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: on in showing them where the bathrooms are. This is

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: the best spot if you're wanting to beat the qu

33
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: at the Kenteen all that sort of thing.

34

Speaker 3: I loved it. We did lots of leadership activities. We

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: went on crazy adventures.

41
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

42
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,520

Speaker 3: Sixty year thirteen students?

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: Oh wow? And the house leader teachers So it's not

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: just the prefix as such. Yeah right? And where was that.

46
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,639

00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah?

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: Is that your first time there?

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: It was my first time.

50
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: It was really good.

51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: What's a particular highlight?

52
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed the giant paddle board.

53
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: That was a big highlight for me. Would you do

54
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: that at Lake clear Water?

55
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 3: So we did a little drive down to Lake clear Water. Yeah,

56
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: we're on some giant paddle boards.

57
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: So I'm assuming that you managed to stay up for

58
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: a period of time. How do you get on with

59
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: that name?

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: Oh? I really liked the giant pedal board.

61
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: Was there was absolutely a more coordinated than me.

62
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: No. My favorite thing though, was the there was this

63
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: giant swing we had to like jump off this platform.

64
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: When you think you're gonna like die, but you're not. Like,

65
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: there's a swing that catches you last week and you

66
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: swing out. It's awesome.

67
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah, we focus on all sort of

68
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: like the fun activities and whatnot, but it sort of

69
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: goes deeper these kind of experiences too. Did you learn

70
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: anything about yourself that you didn't you weren't already aware of?

71
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: Well? I think I gained a lot of confidence. I

72
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: think everybody did because really essentially jumping with no faith

73
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: in the equipment whatsoever, it kind of builds you as

74
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: a person, right.

75
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: A metaphor for life.

76
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: We're finding together now like trauma bonded.

77
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, trust falls literally, Hey, either of you guys, got

78
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: your driver's license. Yeah, both on the road.

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: We are.

80
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: We are both full. No, so the big test is

81
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: still to come. Shame because if you left it an

82
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 2: extra year, then you wouldn't need to worry about that.

83
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: One of the most one of the most nerve wracking

84
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: things you'll ever have to do away is sitting your

85
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: driver's license test. And you're so hyper conscious of things

86
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: that you know, become sick in nature. And then because

87
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: you're focusing on you know, hands ten and two and

88
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: looking over your shoulder and all that sort of stuff,

89
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: you forget the basics, like stopping at a stop sign

90
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: that was me, you know, the intersection of Commode Nye Street.

91
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: Do they still like when you pass? So obviously you

92
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: both passed the first test onto you restricted? Do they

93
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: still give you that piece of paper is a temporary license?

94
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: Ye? Yes, they still do that.

95
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: I always found that a little down buzz Right, You're

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: going to drive around with this piece of paper for

97
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: a few weeks until the real thing turns up in

98
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 2: the mail. Did you both have you set auto or manual?

99
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: Is that still a thing?

100
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yes, I was wanting to sit the manual license,

101
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: but I also just wanted a car, so I bought

102
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: an automatic one, and.

103
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: Then I said my lastnse, I just want to get it.

104
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: So does your license say only allowed to drive auto?

105
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: Does? Yeah? Right?

106
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? Because I sort of made a point of doing that,

107
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: you know, in the manual, because then I got to

108
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: brag to my buddies who didn't that I've got full

109
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 2: clearance here. What about other than you hooked into the scooter?

110
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: No, I wonder?

111
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: Oh wait, yes, the moped? Yeah, yes, I was a

112
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: moped kit for like six months.

113
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Learn That's one of life's greatest hacks, isn't it. I

114
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: wonder if you know all these different changes the rules

115
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: and whatnot. We'll fix that because you can drive around

116
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: by yourself on the learners on the scooter.

117
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: Right, it was so good I lost it.

118
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: Me and my friends just drive around in our scooters

119
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: or is a highlight scoot again?

120
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: We're better get back to focusing on the stuff we're

121
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: meant to be talking about Term one and we're not

122
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: missing around with the excitement. Athletics day is what next week?

123
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:21,280

Speaker 2: You're big teens and you can have the sound system

141
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: and the couches hang out there between sports.

142
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:12,520

159
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,520
