Student tackles 40.2km swim across Lake Taupo to Fund raise for School

Quinn Boyle has very strong ties to the school and the community. He was an ex-pupil of Otamarakau. Quinn has approached the school and asked if he can fundraise for us as he knows the loss of revenue from the Fishing Competition will have an impact. When asking him what he was thinking I was blown away when he told me. " I'm going to swim 40.2km next week"

Yes you read that right 40.2km solo swim! This event is going to be NZ officiated by Phillip Rush an NZ Selector, which has come about as a direct impact of Convid-19 with International Swimmers no longer being able to attend. Quinn was approached and jumped at the opportunity. We are so very proud of you Quinn and behind you all the way. Quinn has asked the school to set up a give a little page in support.

Otamarakau School's biggest fundraiser is our annual Surf Fishing Competition. Due to Covid-19, this has had to be canceled this year.
