20 students, 4 parents and principal Chris Bell made the recent trip to the Hillary Outdoor Education Centre on the central plateau. This fantastic trip was part of the year long learning outside the classroom programme offered to our intermediate age students. The experience tested our students in the outdoors and challenged their team working and leadership skills.
From daily kitchen and cleaning duties to learning about and preparing for adventure in the cold and snow students experienced lots of challenges, and every one of them was tested outside of their normal limits and learnt things about their capacity for resilience and perseverance.
We owe a big thanks to the parents who helped and supported the students through this challenging week. We look forward to our next trip in 2019.
Students who took the trip have shared their reflections in the following 'newspaper' style review.
