Leadership in Action Camps:

GBHS's Year 10 LIA students braved the frosty elements on their overnight camps recently, sleeping in tents and cooking their own food outdoors, during their recent 2-day hike in the Waitākere Ranges.

Carrying all of their required gear on their backs, students began their hike at Puriri Ridge car park, walking 10km to the Pararaha Valley campsite where they pitched tents and set up camp. In the morning they hiked out through Karekare, finishing at Log Race Road, with another 10km!

The Leadership in Action course has a clear focus on developing leadership. Students learn about safety in the outdoors, navigation, planning for a successful outdoor adventure, cooking, hiking, and putting up tents.
