Moving fast - Two Outdoor Challenges down!

-

 

In a whirlwind start to WPC 2021, we have already completed two outdoor challenges. Both challenges saw the students developing these core values of 

    enthusiasm, 

            courage, 

                    teamwork 

                                and resilience. 


At the end of each challenge, students nominated each other for awards based on the WPC values. So many nominations have flooded in as the students take seriously the challenge to develop these values. 

I am proud of this group, and have thoroughly enjoyed the first two challenges, stretching myself to try new things right alongside them!


Challenge One was at Tree Adventures. Check out the website. 


Challenge Two was at Northern Rocks. Check out their website here. 


Details of our experiences will be posted over the next few weeks.

The Nikau Cave is situated on a farm belonging to our hosts, Philip and Anne. The idea of walking through an underground river for one kilometre was a little daunting, not that the Pikelets wanted to admit it! The dark yawning gape of a cave mouth that greeted us was gentled by the song of native birds and the trickling of a gentle stream as it played its music across the rocks. The stream flowed out of the cave, and that's where we were going! Our time underground was amazing. The first third of the cave was the most difficult, kind of like exploring rock pools at the beach - in the dark! The soft knocking sounds as heads bumped on the ceiling made us grate...
