BOARDERS’ RETREAT

Retreat is a much-anticipated highlight for every boarder in the House each year. Held before the academic year begins, the weekend is for all boarders and boarding staff.

It is a weekend we value and treasure, where positive relationships are formed and strengthened with each other. Rangatahi are encouraged to engage and contribute in the planned activities and be an active member in our community.

This opportunity encourages everyone to actively work together as a team, which helps create a great sense of purpose and belong for all individuals. During the two days the activities are on site at kura and one of the days is off site.

Past activities have included an Amazing Race, a gondola trip, pottery, ice skating, Orana Park, Ashley Gorge, Waikuku Beach, Corsair Bay, ice cream parlour night, movies and fun team-building games.
