• What if you<br />
challenged yourself<br />
every single day for<br />
five days?<br />
The Jamie’s Farm experience<br />
2018/19<br />
• What if you stepped<br />
out of your comfort<br />
zone on a daily basis?<br />
• What if you gave up<br />
your phone for five<br />
days?<br />
• And chocolate?<br />
• What if you were not<br />
allowed to be in touch<br />
with your loved ones?<br />
• Would you dare?<br />
That’s what 24 of our students did in November<br />
2018 and June <strong>2019</strong>. They dared.<br />
They took a leap of faith and were welcomed by<br />
the fantastic team at Jamie’s Farm. Jamie’s Farm<br />
is a working farm with both dairy and beef cows,<br />
sheep, horses, chickens, dogs, ducks and a donkey.<br />
It uniquely combines farming, family and therapy<br />
into a 5-day residential with a focus on giving<br />
children time to reflect, to renew and determine a<br />
new path for themselves.<br />
Our students (and staff) challenged themselves<br />
on a daily basis. They worked outside in fresh air,<br />
cooked for everyone, milked cows, collected eggs,<br />
sawed wood, sang songs<br />
around the fire, herded sheep, worked with<br />
horses, helped delivering lambs, cleaned out the<br />
pigsty, developed leadership skills, cared for the<br />
animals as well as each other and grew up along<br />
the way. The bonds our students made with the<br />
staff at Jamie’s Farm, with each other and with<br />
the accompanying teachers and TAs are a great<br />
reminder of how important it is to step out of your<br />
comfort zone every now and then.<br />
It was a great privilege to be part of the journey they<br />
decided to embark upon.<br />
