Outdoor Education has been running at Raglan Area School now for 3 years, offering students from years 7-13 the opportunity to learn and extend themselves in a range of pursuits, and to participate in engaging learning in te taiao.
We were fortunate to be gifted a kayak trailer, so while we are able to learn our sea kayak and canoe skills right outside our classroom in the Whāingaroa Harbour, our trailer has enabled us to explore bodies of water further afield. We have taken groups to paddle the Whanganui River, White water canoe on the Tongariro, explore Lake Tarawera, and discover remote islands in the Hauraki Gulf among other exciting adventures!
Unfortunately our trusty trailer needs some major work after failing its most recent WOF. Raglan Engineering have assessed the issues and are able to get the trailer back to its former glory. This however requires funds that we do not currently have. We are looking for potential donations or sponsorship – the trailer could be signwritten – to get this trailer back on the road and ensure next year’s students are able to enjoy and participate in these amazing experiences. We need to to raise $7000 to complete this work. If you are able to help or are interested in sponsorship please contact Matua Liam Coulden – Lavers. at:
