The group of 7 students was accompanied by Clare and Julieanne Mallon. Based in Paihia for 5 days, the trip started with a school visit in Okaiho, where they experienced a powhiri, ki o rahi, and a trip to the Waitangi Treaty grounds. On day 2 the group visited Cape Reinga, and they hit the sand dunes on the way back. Lots of history learning. The group visited Russel, Pompallier’s and the flagstaff. The students were able to visit former Tokomairiro High School Principal and Milton Rotary member Glenys Sim, and made good use of her sister’s pool and hospitality. The students visited Tane Mahuta to end their adventure up north.
These experiences have meant a great deal to everyone involved, and the students and staff or Tokomairiro High School are deeply grateful for the support the club supplied to make them happen.
