Finding our way

On Friday 10th May selected students of the Kereru team travelled by bus to get to the Totara Park to participate in the Counties Orienteering day. It was cold with alot of rain. Everybody was nervous and excited.

First up was the year 8 boys, last was the Year 5/6 girls. There was 6 different courses for each member in the team. The year 7 and 8 courses had 17 controls they had to come to, to find the way to go they used a map. The Year 5/6 teams had 15 controls.

The course was hard and the maps where tough. The weather would not make up its mind. Kids would  

By the time all the teams had finished it was pouring wet and cold. The day was hard but an awesome experience especially for the year 5's. Congratulations to the Year 7 girls team and the Year 8 Boys team who qualified for the Auckland Champs and to Liam Haddock who qualified individually. Thank you to the parents who helped on the day also a huge thanks to Mr Fourie, Mr Munro and Mrs Notley for making this day happen!
Also congratulations to all the people who participated in this event!
