Every year, Cannons Creek Independent High School pupils and teachers go on an “adventure week” to develop grit, cement friendships, and build camaraderie amongst peers. The Grade 9s spent 10 days hiking and doing other activities in the Matroosberg reserve. The Grade 7s did team-building activities at Rusticana Estate. The Grade 8s paddled down the Breede River, while the Grade 10s, pictured, and 11s hiked in the Cederberg. The Grade 12s spent three days paddling the lower section of the Breede River, as the normal destination for this group, the Orange River, was in flood.
