Selwyn House School's first home-grown Mission to Space camp has successfully concluded, with 56 Year 7 and 8 students completing an amazing week of space-themed learning and experiences.

Our own Simon Christie developed the customised programme alongside the International Antarctic Centre and Haka Educational Tours. Students learnt about astronomy, flight, moon missions, mars, space junk, water survival, rocket building and more, all brought to life with hands-on activities including a flight at the Canterbury Aero Club, ziplining at the Christchurch Adventure Park, a visit to the Star Dome at the International Antarctic Centre, and an overnight 'spaceship' stay in the Jucy Snooze pods.

It has been an incredible experience for all involved and you can read more about it in this 'Stuff' article - click here - or catch a glimpse of what went on in this highlights video - click here.
