A day of fun lead by Wellington High School students

On Monday we had a range of activities that students from Wellington High School lead most of us through. We learned volleyball, kayaking, skim boarding, mountain boarding and football. Most of us also had a swim along the way. The wind and waves came up as the day went on so not everyone had a chance to try kayaking. Thanks to Brooke and his team from Wellington High School for this great opportunity.
