Year 13 Outdoor Education Programme ends on a high
Year 13 Outdoor Education Programme ends on a high
The Year 13’s have spent the last 2-3 months learning to lead climb which is the next progression from Top Rope climbing. For lead climbing the consequences are much greater if you fall. If you fall, you fall to the last piece of protection that you have placed on the rock while you are climbing which comes in the form of a ‘quick draw’ (if you zoom in on the photo, you will be able to see them). In this photo; Hala is leading the climb with Donald Belaying her, totally committed and focused.
Helpful Hauora Hints: Time for Ourselves
Helpful Hauora Hints: Time for Ourselves
Well Done on negotiating and making it to the end of another year of uncertainty for yourselves and in the support you offer your whānau.
It is easy to put emphasis on the stressful part of our lives but hopefully over the next few weeks there can be an opportunity to make time for ourselves.
Some thoughts to consider from writer Serena Yates
Nothing in life is guaranteed, least of all time
Do what you enjoy now, while the time is available
Think about what fills your cup and feeds your soul
What makes you smile, laugh and dance?
Whether it is spending time with loved ones, doing what you have always wanted or meant to do, visiting a friend you haven't seen in years, sharing a delicious meal or swimming in the ocean, it's about living the life you want to live, even if only in the smallest way.
Ōtaki College is ranked 4th in New Zealand and 19th across AUS/NZ based on our SchoolTV 2021 usage score, giving us the status of SCHOOLTV Super User School.
