HMNZS Te Kaha crew visit SBS!

During the last week of term 1 members of HMNZS Te Kaha's crew visited SBS to teach the children about Anzac Day, undertake some teamwork evolutions and have fun.  The crew challenged senior pupils to a poetry competition on the subject of "What Anzac day means to you".  The middle school enjoyed preparing poppy wreaths for Anzac Day parades, while the juniors learned about the symbols of Anzac Day.

A 25 person life-raft was floated in the school pool and the children learned how to flip the raft the right way up before clambering into it from the water.  Using the life-raft presented the children with a challenge as well as reinforcing the values of resilience, teamwork and survival.

We would like to extend a big thank you to LTCDR Rob McCaw, AFNI, RNZN for putting together such an exciting and informative programme for us!
