Volvo Ocean Race Education Day
10 students were lucky enough to travel to Auckland to participate in the Volvo Ocean Race Education Day. We had a great leader Paul who showed us around for the day. We learnt about the impact plastic is having on the ocean and that it is being found in the stomachs of baby Albatross. We all make a promise to try and limit the amount of plastic we use. Say no to plastic bags and straws. Next was our turn at learning to sail. We loved it. It was pretty windy so we went really fast. We met Blair Tuke and Peter Burling. It was an amazing day and we all enjoyed everything we learnt and did. Watch this video with some of the highlights of our trip.

What an INCREDIBLE opportunity! I was really hoping you wouldn't get enough whānau to join you and then I could have come too:-) Great to see all your photos and read about what you saw and learnt. Plastic bags are a real problem in our world. It is great that Countdown are going to stop using them soon. I am also trying really hard to cut down on plastic. Have you thought about how you can share this important message with Kawakawa School teachers/learners and the whole Kawakawa community?
