Hillcrest GBE Mixed 2016

I hope you, your family and friends are well and safe in your bubbles! You may have heard that the future of Hillary Outdoors is at risk with the current COVID-19 situation. They are reaching out for support to ensure that they can get back doing what they do best once these crazy times have passed. As you know, what they offer is exceptional so if you can spare a few dollars I know it would be much appreciated. Not just by Hillary Outdoors but also by the youth that are yet to have an experience like you did. If you can't spare a few dollars then please SHARE and spread the word. Let's keep this fantastic organisation running one way or another. Take care and be safe. Ms Clifton :) http://www.hillaryoutdoors.co.nz/donate/

Just in case you missed the Okiwi School kids on TV :)

Do you believe we're alone in the universe or are there aliens that exist and perhaps they've already visited here?

I hope you are all happy to be home with family and friends. Don't forget all that you learnt and achieved on Aotea. And don't be sad that it is over but happy that it happened. Ms Clifton (aka YOLO SOLO)

The students are all back from their big expeditions, it was a very challenging wet time for them all but they all survived! They are looking forward to seeing family and friends tomorrow although many have said they also don't want to leave this wonderful place they have called home for 5 weeks.

On Sunday the students all wrote letters home. Each letter has been photographed and emailed to parents/caregivers this afternoon. Three more sleeps!

It is a gorgeous morning here! The students started today with purple porridge and have now all headed off on their 3 night expeditions. You will get to hear all about it when you see them on Friday :)

This morning half the group went fishing while the other half went and worked on the Hillcrest track. Lots of fun had making better paths, steps and even a stone seat. This afternoon students are preparing for their final expedition. They leave tomorrow morning and will return to Orama on Thursday. Not long to go now...

Girls had a great time up on the via Ferrata yesterday, Mr Baxter even went along too. One group of boys helped out at Glenfern in the afternoon and did a bit of cleaning up along the Glenfern Walkway. There was lots of fun with hammers and saws, bashing things and cutting logs so they could be moved out of the way. All groups are off on expedition today, the wind had died down again which is great!
