Motutapu Camp Update – Thursday! ☀️🏕️

Kia ora whānau,

I was very excited to have the opportunity today to join Whaea Donna and Matua Paul on a day trip to Motutapu Island to visit our tamariki!

What a fabulous day it was! The sun was shining, the island was looking beautiful, and most importantly, our tamariki were having an absolutely fantastic time!

It was wonderful to see them challenging themselves, stepping outside their comfort zones and giving everything a go. They have been busy with an amazing range of activities, including rock climbing, abseiling, high ropes, orienteering, survivor challenges and archery. There are certainly some very brave and adventurous tamariki!

The food is amazing, and everyone is being very well looked after. The dormitories where the children are sleeping are very cool! I have to say, I was particularly impressed with how neatly some of the boys had made their beds – the girls, on the other hand, were a little more relaxed about their housekeeping! 

The internet connection on the island is a little patchy, which has made sending photos through quite a challenge. However, I managed to take plenty during my visit and will send these through shortly.

Lots and lots of photos are being taken throughout the week, so once everyone is back, we will put together a folder of camp memories to share with you all.

It really was lovely to see our tamariki so happy, enjoying themselves and making the most of this wonderful experience. They are creating some very special memories and doing us all proud!

One more sleep until they're home! ❤️

We will keep you updated tomorrow on their return journey and let you know their expected arrival time back at school.

Ngā mihi nui
