Well we have had a busy few weeks with many km ran and kayaked. More than most of you have ever been before. We saw some awesome things - here are just a couple of photos from some of our adventures!
This blog has been created to keep the students and parents of Whangarei Girls and Boys High School informed about up and coming events, photos, gear lists, results and general information. I hope that you find it useful.

Please bring:
- A bike if you have one.
- A bike helmet
- Water
- Snack food for 4 hours.
- Running shoes
- Waterproof jacket
- Warm clothes (remember no cotton).
See you there!

Change in Training Schedule
Hi team,
There was an Orienteering event scheduled for this Saturday night, but the club has postponed it until the following Saturday. On the calendar we have not scheduled a training for this Sunday because of this event, and we will keep it this way. So have a sleep in and go for a run instead.
At this stage we will still run the scheduled Sunday training the following weekend (3 July). And encourage anyone to also attend the Orienteering event at Barge Park the night before (2nd July), particularly those interested in navigation. This event however is not organised by the school and Bec and I will not be there (not in a supervision capacity). So, I encourage you to take your children and try this out for yourselves - a interesting and fun Saturday night!.
We will post more info about this event on the blog closer to the time.
