A group of nineteen students from Year 11 and 12 headed across to Ambury Regional Park for the afternoon. All of the students are international students, and the goal of the trip was to prepare for an upcoming English Language writing assessment.
We left school at morning tea time, nervously watching the sky for rain. We knew rain was forecast but were hoping and praying we would get through our intended activities without getting soaked. Our prayers were answered, and after enjoying a walk around the Ambury foreshore, enjoying the incredible view out towards the Manukau Heads and stopping to appreciate the beautiful landscape around us, we made our way back to the grassy picnic area to eat.
All of the food was traditional Kiwi picnic food, an opportunity for the students to get a small taste of the classic Kiwi picnic. After a leisurely lunch, we could see the rain making its way across the harbour, so we loaded back into the school vans and headed home.
It was a wonderful day out, thoroughly enjoyed by all.
