Paddle Boarding at Lake Ngatu with SUP Bros - Scotty and Jo
Paddle Boarding with Scotty and Jo from SUP BROs was fantastic. Our class had the best time with over at Lake Ngatu with Te Tinana. The students took turns in their groups to negotiate the giant paddle boards around Lake Ngatu and were well and truly rewarded with a beautiful outlook from a different lake perspective. The students were challenged physically when they were paddling into the wind and it was great to see the resilience and perseverance shown (not one complaint!) There was a paddle wobble comp and lots of sweet bombs off the boards! Lots of laughs, lots of fun, we want to do it all over again! Come back soon Scotty and Jo!

Te Whare Tui Camp 2019 - 11th November to 13th November
Te Whare Tui's camp was an absolute delight from beginning to end. We had 43 Year 3 and 4 students who came to school on Monday full of excitement and ready to go.
The students took part in a heap of wet action activity on Day 1 with the 80m water slide and 20 kayaks in full use. We were lucky to get a weather break and enjoyed some chilled out time at the beach before heading back to the camp for a delicious dinner.
Day 2 offered better weather and the students were able to use the obstacle course, slippy hockey, water slide and kayaks on 2 great big fun rotations. We sure had a lot of tired but happy kids that night!!
Day 3 was clean up and move out, but not before heading down to beautiful Coopers Beach for some sand fun, Capture the Flag and a sand sculpting competition then back to school for a sausage sizzle and a surprise scoop of hot chips from the Craig whanau.
Our students were a credit to themselves and their whanau, they were an absolute pleasure to have on camp. We were very lucky to have such a wonderful whanau group who made the camp a positive experience for all our students. Our Coopers Beach Camp was a huge success thanks to our wonderful campers and supportive parents.
Finally a huge thanks to Krystal Rose and Kiran who were our 'Kitchen Queens' who made the kitchen run smoothly and fed us all delicious meals. Thank you to Yvette and Jada for supporting the staff and students as they always do and Mrs Stevenson who helped make it all happen. You all ROCK!!!!!!
