Monday marked the first day of sailing, as Room 22 and Mr Bradley embarked on an exciting trip to Bucklands Beach Yacht club. There was not a cloud in the sky and the Auckland sun shone brightly, as the children enjoyed a short bus ride down to Little Bucks Beach.
They were met by the experienced and enthusiastic members and volunteers in charge of running the ‘Have a Go’ initiative, a programme designed to give local children the opportunity to try sailing in a safe and well-managed environment. They are taught skills required to be successful such as: rigging a boat, harnessing the wind and how to steer effectively.
The children had a brilliant time and did not want the experience to end. The rest of the senior school classes are in for an absolute treat!
