2010

Welcome students and families to Outdoor Education at Motueka High School for 2010. We have a busy schedule of activities planned for the upcoming year including, whitewater and sea kayaking, tramping, mountaineering, rock climbing and caving.

At the end of 2009 we farewelled Lisa Harbott from the department after two years of exceptional Outdoor Ed teaching. It is Lisa's long term goal to work in the area of Paramedics and she has take the opportunity to extend herself in this field. We thank her for her contribution to the department and wish her all success in her future endeavors.

It is with pleasure that we welcome Bernard Oliver to the Department. Bernard is a graduate of the CPIT Outdoor Recreation Degree programme in Christchurch and has recently been traveling the world in search of classic whitewater in places such as the USA and Uganda. Bernard brings a wide range of skills and enthusiasm to the department.
