Ngaruawahia Day, 2017


I'm really looking forward to this day next week. I've been talking to students about the activities they can participate in. Some are excited about a day to chill with friends before school ends and some are out right not coming to Ngaruawahia or school! It's a real shame. As a staff we are expected to sign up to help out at two activities. I've signed up to help out first at the Flying Fox and then the Kayaks/Paddle Boats. 

Update 10/12/2017
Ngaruawahia day was loads of fun. We had to be signed off by Camp Staff to be able to safely operate the Flying Fox. Students had to wear a harness and have a couple of carabiners attached. Once they'd swooped from one side of the lake to the other, we had to unhook the carabiners and lift the flying fox off the line. Students would then take this all back up and around to the start. A number of students enjoyed a brief dip in the water at the end of the flying fox! 
Kayaks/Paddle Boats were brilliant. I bet those kids had a great sleep that night!
