The weather looked like it wasn't going to play ball, but we went ahead anyway and it was great fun!
There were games and races, swimming and fun, and food too.
It was great to see so many people of all ages at the picnic and good to see some ex-pupils back to share in the fun.
What a great way to start the year!
Tug o war needs muscles...
...lots of muscles!
Piggy back races need teamwork...
... and sausages to refuel!
On Friday 5 February, Year 7 & 8 students walked the White Cliffs Walkway, in the far north of Taranaki.
We walked from Pukearuhe, up over open farmland, along the ridge tops and to Wai Pingao Stream, before descending through the tunnel and returning to Pukearuhe via the beach at low tide.
It was a hard walk and a hot day, but an amazing experience.
Some of the walking was steep!
But the view from the top was amazing!
There were some new challenges...
We walked through the tunnel
It was an amazing walk back along the beach at low tide.
