Wilderness Trail Ride - Karoro to Kumara & Return

 

On April 8th Ruma Waru cycled from Karoro School, Watson's Creek through to Kumara and back!  This was an epic trail ride and everyone showed incredible resilience. 

Huge shout out to our awesome support crew: Louise, Tracey, Rachael, Ainslie, Joel, Angus, Sarah, Corrie, and Netty (and Neil).

Most students made the full return trip but a few were brave enough to ask for support and to receive a car ride back to base. 

We covered approximately 44kms.

Congratulations to Eamon and Aimee, our choice of Year 8 students for the police "Big Day Out".  These two students work hard on their academic goals, demonstrate kindness and inclusion towards others, and are just two very nice young people.  We are proud of them and delighted to be able to invite them to enjoy this fun day out.  Thank you to the members of the Greymouth Police Force who helped to organise the day especially Terri and Mike.
