LANE COVE TRIP
Well done to the year 11 students who attended the Lane Cove trip last week. As part of their PE program this term our year 11 students are learning about the importance of safety in the outdoors. Last Wednesday 7 of our year 11 students participated in an overnight trip to the Lane Cove Hut in Totara North. Well done to you all for successfully completing the 2 hour trek. I would like to extend a huge thank you to Rhema Norman who accompanied us to help out with our trip and supervision. I would also like to thank Paul and Sally WiHongi for transporting us to and from Totara North. What an awesome experience had by all.
BASKETBALL TRAINING

Looks like the Year 11 students had a great time at Lanes Cove. That place has many good childhood memories.So good to see the photos Mr Low.
If whanau have never been out there, it is an affordable and achievable overnight hike with children. Just don’t do what my dad did when we were there, “Okay kids – go find us some dinner!”
