Students in Room 5/6 with Mrs Ross have begun their Friday programme of Waka Ama at Lake Manuwai. Led by Danny, our multi talented caretaker, and Tuppy his wife, students will learn about the culture of Waka ama and its relevance and meaning in the community. There will be lots of opportunity for paddling and competing as the term progresses.
Our Friday afternoon surfing programme also began last Friday at Matauri Bay. 21 brave students and a group of equally brave parents and teachers took to the water with surfboards in hand. On the day the conditions were not totally suitable for great surfing but Whaea Xani was happy to have the chance to get the organisation settled in for another surfing term. This term surfing will swing between Taronui Beach close to the school and Matauri.
