Outdoor Challenge
This programme is a brilliant way to introduce your class to the great outdoors, Kiwi-style!
Students learn about keeping safe and having fun through practical hands-on activities. They have a go at pitching tents and cooking sausages, get the low-down on tramping, orienteering, and what to do if things go wrong. Team building opportunities a plenty!

Y0 Kiwi – Ambury Regional Park Visit
Thursday 26 October All classes
9.45 – 2.30pm
Close Encounters of an Animal Kind
Big ideas
Meet the farm animals and see how we farm and care for them.
Big experiences
We’ve got pigs to pat, goats to feed, sheep to feel and hens to cluck over!
Children learn about shearing and crutching in the wool shed, before exiting as a sheep would – down the sheep chute! Wheeee! Then it’s off to the cowshed for a milking demonstration before exploring the farm.
Through observation and interaction with Ambury’s loveable menagerie, children learn bucket-loads about animals – what they eat, how they’re cared for and why we farm them.
This programme is particularly suitable for ESOL students as an introduction to New Zealand farming life.

First Aid course in preparation for Year 4 Camp in November/December
The ASB St John in Schools programme provides pre-school and school-aged children with the skills and confidence to take action in response to an emergency situation.
St John community educators teach young people first aid basics and knowledge to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing, along with those around them.
Different skills are taught to different age groups, with four modules offered: Responding in an emergency, Keeping Safe, Clued up Camper, and Weaving Wellbeing.
To date, more than 800,000 students have completed the ASB St John in Schools programme since 2015. With support from ACC, the common goal is to deliver to a total of one million New Zealand students (pre-school through to intermediate) by 2023.
