Fusion Rangatahi

Wānanga

Our Fusion tamariki were lucky enough to travel over to Ōtautahi for a fun couple of days in Governors Bay. After spending Monday & Tuesday at the Marae we braved the snow on Wednesday and made it safely to Living Springs for a 2 night stay. The kids were lucky enough to participate in

- rock climbing

- archery tag

- swimming

- carnival games

- adventure stream

- ziplining

- archery & air rifles

- & movies/games/ activities in the auditorium

We were very grateful for all of the Rangatahi Komiti, Kaiako & Parent help who came away with us for the week. Living Springs was an awesome experience with delicious kai, friendly staff, and never-ending activities for our kids.
