Remuera Trip 2019

Roddy Scoles —

What an awesome week with 30 fantastic Tahuna Ambassadors! Auckland turned on the weather for us and we had a great time. Here is a selection of quotes from our student travellers.

The Remuera experience was an amazing one. I made so many great memories . The whole week was amazing, but here are some of the best highlights. Rangitoto Island - It was beautiful! The Zoo - It was super cool! Rainbows End - It was so fun! There are so many more, and it was a great opportunity. I definitely recommend it to all the Year 7’s for next year.  Heather

I think it is great that Tahuna provides this amazing opportunity for students , I hope that students of Tahuna will still be able to do this trip in the future and enjoy it as much as the 2019 group did. Georgia

The trip to Remuera was a truly amazing and fun experience. It was a great opportunity for some people who had never flown on a plane before. This trip was a great way to make new friends and experience another city. We went to Kelly Tarltons, The Skytower, Rangitoto, Rainbows End, Auckland Museum and the Zoo. I would definitely recommend applying for this trip next year. Yes, you get a week off school, but the trip also teaches you responsibility and independence. Lukas

My favourite part of Remuera was Rainbows End. I really enjoyed the full on rides like the Power Surge. My favourite ride was the 360° Stratosphere because it was really fast and scary. Xanthe

The whole trip was loads of fun. It was great hanging out with our friends at Rainbows End and Kelly Tarltons and all those other great things. We even climbed up Rangitoto Island. We stayed at our billets houses who where from Remuera Intermediate. Overall it was a fun and exciting trip. Aaria

I loved this trip it was honestly so much fun and I’m so lucky that I got the opportunity to go on it. I loved all of it but Rainbows End was my favourite part. I appreciate all the hard work that went into this trip because it was honestly amazing and such a great experience. Bianca.

My favourite part of the trip was Rainbows End. It was the most fun i’ve ever had, I went on the: Invader, Log flume, Gold rush, dodgems and stratosphere. My favourite was the log flume, My favourite part of that was the drop at the end, You go so fast and it’s scary and fun. I rate it 10/10. Madeline

My highlight of the trip was going to Rangitoto! I'd been looking forward to this since I found out that I was going.What really struck me was how cool it was to be walking on an actual volcano! - You wouldn't even be standing on the island if you were alive 600 years ago. It was interesting to find out that once the bach's become irreparable or fall down that they won't be replaced. I really loved the fertile and flourishing flora and fauna, it is very different from anything I've ever encountered. Emily


My favourite thing about the Remuera Exchange was going to Rainbow’s End and going on every single ride!  India
