Camp Awhitu

Camp Awhitu was a huge success for the children and parents alike. We had a blast kayaking, walking up huge mountains to view ancient pa sites and listen to Mr George Flavell give a history of the site, eating hangi food and enjoying the children's performances.

The visit to Earthtalk generated a lot of excitiment as the children ooohed over the worm farm, and arghhs as they drank the sugary liquid from the sugar cane they crushed. Our Deputy Principal, Mr Merchant, earned the reputation as being the best weaver of putiputi harakeke.

Awhitu's weather man, Brian Hamilton, gave the children a practical example of one person trying to stop global warming.

A big thank you to Lisa for providing all the yummy food for everyone to eat, and to Ross for coming in especially to take the Spotlight on Monday night!
