Spirit of New Zealand adventures !!!

Our current Head Boy, Harry,undertook a 10 day voyage on the Spirit of New Zealand last year. Leaving from Auckland the ship sailed up to Kawau Island, and headed off to 'The Barrier'. After a quick cruise down the east coast of Coromandel, the boat sailed back to Coromandel town and from there the students were given charge of the ship. The trainees elected the officers and our Harry was voted navigator. A tribute to his mathematical precision that the ship made it back safely back to Auckland. Any student , male or female, is eligible to enrol. They need to be over 15, be able to swim 100m and be free of infectious disease.
