We had an amazing time with the SAS CWW this year! From tie-dying to survival games to tower jumping, the students from SAS really took advantage of having fun, and all the interaction throughout the two days helped reiterate the fact that "No one is an island!" Thanks, SAS! Selena

A-Side! B-Side! C-Side! With hundreds of eighth graders at Telunas, fun and energy filled the air. Tie-dying, Telunas olympics, music wafting out of the meeting room- it was a CWW that we will all remember. Thanks eighth graders and you incredible teachers!

You amaze me SAS art students! This past week we had three days of art going on at Telunas, and all I could say most of the time was, "WOW!" Miss Harvey and her sidekick/life-of-the party kiddo provided direction and entertainment, "Go Guys!" The models were still-lifes at their best- great drooling, guys. What a superb trip. Thanks for being your spectacular, artistic selves. Selena

TELUNAS WRITING CAMP HAIKU

Thatched huts balanced on

Rough stick thickets; sea lapping

Below as we write.



Pens scratch, keyboards tap

Nurturing masterpieces...

Is that the lunch gong?

Long boats to island

Jungle hike and bonfire screaming,
Visit a village...

No-one’s lost for words.
Thanks for all the inspiration
And the company.

From the 10th-16th of February we were priveleged to have an interim trip group from the Singapore American School join us at Telunas Beach. We had a fabulous time, partaking of such activities as overnighting in a local village, trekking and sleeping in the jungle, beach games and the Telunas Amazing Race. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and thank you especially to the SAS teachers who gave of their time to organize the trip this year! We hope to see many of you back on future trips from SAS. Please find below a poem from the winning team of the Telunas Amazing Race.

Girls Team Poem

Aboard wooden boat, we roamed turquoise sea,
The stress of the city from which we did flee.
Leap from the dock to swim with the fish.
To go back home we did not wish.
With families we stayed, continuosly squatting,
And with good natured people our me-itis was rotting.
From ocean to jungle, we trekked and we hiked,
A few slips and a few falls, we came out all right.
Under the sun we did sizzle and fry,
But being together was the best natural high.
Our island, our home, the resort of Telunas,
In our hearts it is glowing just like the moon'is.

"Make it seem real"! You all definitely followed Richard Tulloch's advice for writing, and carried into every area of our camp, SAS! From the desert island adventure, to screaming through the "scary" stories at the bonfire, I definitely shared with you in enjoying every minute out at Telunas. I look forward to seeing lots of you in the future! Write away! Thanks for the memories!
Selena

MIS,

What a privelege to spend a week with all of you! Matthew, thank you for bringing the students once again. I thought it would be hard to top 2007, yet it appears you all had another great year. I hope that we will see you again someday at Telunas Beach. Please feel free to leave your comments and thoughts about your week stay with us. We would love to hear them!
