Wai/Water Whānau has also settled into Camp Adair for their 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟕 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩 and they had a great first day. Here are some photos from their Day 1 (yesterday).
More updates to follow.

The first two 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟕 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬 headed off to Camp Adair today. Students from Ngahere/Forest Whānau and Wai/Water Whānau have all settled in. Here are a few photos from Day 1 with Ngahere Whānau.

Yesterday, Maunga/Mountains Whānau travelled north of Auckland to Te Hāwere-a-maki (Goat Island) as part of their Term 1 learning. Year 9 students in Maunga Whānau have spent the term learning about Wai (Water) Safety.
They had great conditions for their snorkelling experience and a fabulous day!
