Camp Survey
Thank you to those students who took time to vote. It looks like coasteering and archery were the favourite Wainui Camp activities. The Hot Pools were a runaway favourite at Hanmer. Seems like such a long time ago now.
Great to see some team one comments, keep them coming, they help this site become more interactive and interesting.
We have posted a new survey. Miss Huston would like to know if it is worth changing the abseiling at Wainui as it is very similar to the tree climbing at Hanmer. Your thought would be greatly appreciated.

Monty Python
Monty Python were master entertainers! The term 'pythonesque' is often used to refer to nonsensical and surreal comedies.

Is there anything out there?
Nasa have recently launched the Kepler Telescope on a mission to see if there are any other planets like earth that could contain water and therefore life like on our planet. I am very curious to know what they find. What do you think they might discover?
Camps were FANTASTIC!
I enjoyed both camps. Would have loved to have stayed longer on your camp Year 7's but I was stoked to go coasteering. My highlight on both camps was spending time with you all and getting to know you better. A huge thanks to the great group of parents that helped on both camps:) I will add some photos soon.
