The transition class of 2013 enjoyed the week climbing,
belaying, and supporting each other to achieve amazing things.
The level of support, encouragement, enthusiasm and focus
shown by all the students in the group impressed the tutors Sarah, Ken and Debs,
who look forward to the KDEC week each year.
The Year 2 students, Ben, Ngawaiata, Dan and James, led each
activity, receiving NCEA Level 3 credits in Leadership. The Year 1 students learned and participated
under the careful guidance of the Year 2s and the Adventureworks tutors. They received 12 NCEA Level 2 credits.
It was heart-warming to see the way the group worked
together to ensure all students participated fully and pushed themselves
outside their own comfort zone.

20 years! That is a remarkable achievement. This is one of the most successful activities for Transition students and provides all those attributes such as team work, leadership skills, following instruction and so on.
