St. Canice's Came Back

On a brilliantly sunny, but windy, day 20 kids from St. Canice's school, Westport came to visit. My favourite school!

Actually, it was the 4th time they've been here now - different kids/parents but same teachers. It is such a great idea - they come down the Coast Road from Westport, see the village and have lunch, and then go on, up the Grey Valley to Waiuta for their school camp for a couple of days. After that they go home via Reefton and the Buller Gorge.

Much better than going off to a city for their camp and learning about other people's regions & history. Waiuta is different to home but it's in their own backyard.


We give them a list of questions and things to look for in the village.


It helps to slow them down.


Always a joy - roll-on next year!

cheers
