Kahurangi Tramping

Year 12 students recently completed a three day tramp in Kahurangi National Park. The aim was to practice off track navigation skills so each of the three groups spent several hours with map and compass in hand, moving through the bush. Although we had our ears open, the was no calls from the recently released Friends of Flora kiwi.

2010 Tuna Hoe

Late last term, members of Year 13 Outdoor Ed (and special guest steerer Keone all the way from Hawaii) entered a wama ama team in the 2010 Tuna Hoe Regatta, held on Lake Rotoiti in Nelson Lakes National Park. Being their first race, they entered the Novice category and placed a credible second, coming in behind a full adult crew.
