Recent exploits

Sorry there are no videos or photos with this one as someone (Mr Oliver) temporary misplaced the camera.

We have recently had the year 11's out abseiling and rock climbing. With Jake Watts, Rebecca Petch and many others going hard. Keegan Atkinson wet his pants a little bit and so did Morgan Norval I think.

Then we had the 9OEE classes tucking in and doing some track cutting and digging up at Maungatautari. They worked hard for a couple of days (well most of them) and I think they even enjoyed it. It was good to see some TAC kids doing some selfless helping out.

Then the Year 12's and 13's have been out and about lead climbing around the district. There's been some descent falls (some of them a little too big) and plenty of climbing. It'll be good to see how far they can push themselves.

I promise there will be pictures next time

The 2OED Kayak trip for 2014

EYEBROWS?

Sorry it's taken so long. Here is the edit for the year 12 kayak trip.
We started off at Rieds farm in Taupo with a bit of skills work on the flat then rallied to the Mohaka. When we got there it was a raging monster so decided to set up camp and hope it dropped over night . It didn't.
So after a night of hilarious antics we got up and drove another 200km north on a forestry road for a while to the Aniwhenua section of the Rangitaiki River. Here we spent 2 days attempting to surf, whoopeeing, swimming and shaving eyebrows.

Here's a sneak peak it how it went
