Spirit of Adventure pushed us to our limit

Daniel King —

The Spirit of Adventure empowers young New Zealanders to reach their full potential through the challenge of the sea.

The Southern Cross Campus team are back on land has had a truly fantastic time. Highlights of the trip included: swims in the sea before dawn, climbing up and over the ships rigging, learning how to hoist and strike the sails, preparing food for themselves and the other schools and steering the boat with the shipmaster. They were pushed to their limit and then many more miles after that and still came back singing. While we only placed third in the competition overall, we came first in the chanting, flag design and tug of war.  Thank you to Mr King, Mr Copsey, our students and whānau support.
