There is one clear challenge of this exciting 5 Day voyage – win the coveted Spirit trophy!

Schools from around the country send teams of Year 10 students (10 from each school plus a teacher) to compete against three other schools for the bragging rights of winning the Spirit trophy. As team participants, students will enjoy a learning experience like no other that guarantees challenge, adventure, creativity and reward.

Activities in the programme include ship-handling, teamwork, problem-solving, debating, and water sports (in and on the water). Teams also go ashore and complete tasks against each other and enjoy competitive games that involve ingenuity, leadership and fun.

Any interested students please email Mrs Boomer (bm@otagogirls.school.nz) ASAP. There will be meetings to organise fundraising and team-building. The cost could be approximately $1900.
