Fantastic Waimarino

A lovely soak in the spa
Tiana is in the river after the water slide.

Kereru Whanau had a brilliant trip to the Waimarino Adventure Park on Thursday. 
The morning was spent on the Wairoa River learning kayaking skills and safety. Some pupils even had to perform rescues and were able to practice and try and perfect the T Rescue. Luckily the river was quite shallow so there was no danger. Attempting to "raft up" and hold on was quite challenging! Special thanks to instructor Chris for his enthusiasm and patience.
In the afternoon the pupils took part in the water adventure activities. These included going down the amazing water slide, diving from the diving boards, swinging from the Tarzan swing, jumping onto the blob, wrestling on the gladiator pole or just relaxing in the lovely hot spa pool. 
A special thanks to the parents that helped out with transport and supervision on the day.

Also to Waimarino manager Drew and his staff for his help on the day.
