On Wednesday, November 4th, Year 7 and 8 students completed their final outdoor activity of the year at the incredible Muriwai Lifeguard Station. The day began with lifeguards introducing their vital roles, emergency equipment, and key duties.
Students then learned essential water safety skills, including how to spot ocean hazards, stay calm during panic situations, and signal for help. In the afternoon, the group hit the beach for hands-on activities that put their new knowledge into practice and gave them a firsthand feel for the power of the water.
Coming Up
Students now need to log all completed hours for their passion projects, community service, and outdoor activities online through the William Pike Challenge Hub. To be eligible for this year’s William Pike Challenge Award, all three components must be fully completed. Your support and encouragement at home to help them cross the finish line is greatly appreciated!
