WHSWA Paddlers2017 Go To Nationals

The beginning of the school year is a costly one for our parents. As this trip is not funded through school funds, we are seeking support.

We have three Waka Ama crews (a girls’ crew and two boy’s crews). These are dedicated kids that train three hours, three times a week and are really enjoying building skills and learning to work as a waka crew.

The pinnacle of our sport at Secondary School is the National Waka Ama Sprint Championships in Rotorua – it is where we can measure our abilities and development in competition with over a hundred other teams from around the country.

We’ve done quite a bit of fundraising already - two carwashes and a Bacon Buttie Stall at the Regional Championships. This has given us just over a $1000 in desperately needed funds, but the full cost of the trip is high (nearly $10,000!) and we need help.
