With 230 students doing Outdoor Ed at Te Awamutu College this year, we are in for another big one.
We have had a couple of trips so far starting off with the Year 11's getting there first aid certificates, the Year 9's have been at Karapiro on the high ropes course and the year 10's climbing at Castle Rock in Wharepapa. There will be some photos for those trips coming up soon.
The Year 13's have also had their 5 day kayak mission. We spent a day brushing up on rescue skills at Reids farm followed by a day on the Mohaka. We then missioned to the Aniwhenua river where we spent 2 days. To end with a bang we headed to the Wairoa river near Tauranga where we paddled the slalom gorge and Danielle, Jake, Mitch and Chester paddled the bottom 3 rapids which finished with a Waterfall.
