Welcome to 2011

Tena kotou, welcome everyone, to the start of another new year. As always we have lots of great adventures lined up for our Outdoor Education classes.
I would like to take the opportunity to welcome Greg O'Donnell to the department. Greg replaces Bernard Oliver who has moved to Te Awamutu College in the central North Island to be closer to his fiance. Greg comes to us with a wide variety of outdoor education teaching experiences, both here in NZ and offshore. His specialist areas include whitewater kayaking and rock climbing We look forward to working with him here at Motueka High School.

Waka Paddling

Another great day out with the 2010 International student crew, this time at Kaiteriteri Beach for some Waka paddling. Here's a quick taste of the action.
