Outdoor Education

TBHS —

The end of Term 3 was hectic in the Outdoor Education Department. 

Yet again our Year 12 Mountain Bike trip was to Wanaka, which every boy agreed was far more interesting than having poor weather in Timaru and being in class! Over a period of three days, the boys biked around the lake and improved their riding skills on the trails at Dean’s Bank and Sticky Forest. Yet again we had great weather – a big thank you to Mr Chris Barclay, and EJ Hickey who helped out for the three days.

Our intrepid adventurers from the Year 11 class headed out into the Mt Somers and Peel Forest wilderness to battle nature, figure out the best way to not burn sausages, and important lessons on correct tent construction (important if it rains apparently). We managed to not lose anyone and the boys enjoyed the trip which was yet again a highlight of the year.
